Trump picks Kimberly Guilfoyle and Tom Barrack to be ambassadors to Greece and Turkey
President-elect Donald Trump said he would nominate former Fox News personality Kimberly Guilfoyle and his longtime billionaire friend Tom Barrack to serve as ambassadors to Greece and Turkey respectively.
President-elect Donald Trump said Tuesday that he would nominate former Fox News personality Kimberly Guilfoyle and his longtime billionaire friend Tom Barrack to be ambassadors to Greece and Turkey, respectively.
Trump made the announcements in a pair of social media posts.
"For three decades, Tom successfully managed a global private equity firm," Trump wrote of Barrack on Truth Social. "He is a well respected and experienced voice of reason to a wide range of thought leaders in both political and business circles."
Barrack, who founded the private equity firm Colony Capital and chaired Trump's 2017 inaugural committee, was acquitted in 2022 of charges that he acted as an unregistered foreign agent for the United Arab Emirates during the Trump administration and then made false statements to the FBI.
In a separate post announcing his selection of her for ambassador to Greece, Trump referred to Guilfoyle, who announced in 2022 that she was engaged to his son Donald Trump Jr., as a yearslong “close friend and ally.”
