President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday named Kimberly Guilfoyle as his choice to be U.S. ambassador to Greece.

“Kimberly has been a close friend and ally for many years. Her extensive legal, media and political experience and leadership, as well as her keen intellect, make her a highly qualified individual to represent the United States and protect its interests abroad. “Kimberly is perfectly suited to foster a strong bilateral relationship with Greece and advance our interests on issues ranging from defense cooperation to trade and economic innovation,” Trump said in a Truth Social post.

Guilfoyle was engaged to Donald Trump Jr. and is close to the Trump family.

CNN has previously reported on Trump’s selection of family members for key positions in his next administration.

Trump named real estate developer Charles Kushner as the next US ambassador to France. Kushner is the father of Jared Kushner, who is married to Trump’s daughter Ivanka and was pardoned by Trump in 2020 after being convicted on federal charges in 2005.

The president-elect has also selected billionaire Massad Boulos as his senior adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs. Boulos is the father-in-law of Trump’s youngest daughter, Tiffany.
