Kimberly Gilfil’s name is included in the list of 48 candidates who ratified the Senate Thursday afternoon, formally making the new US ambassador to Greece.

The road to the ratification of Kimberly Gilfil was opened after the so -called ‘Nuclear choice’that is, the change of regulations, from the Republican majority that allowed the ratification of the candidates by groups.

According to the original design, Mrs Gilfil should have been in our country normally. However, the Democrats’ discontent to vote in vote “Great and Beautiful Bill”as the president called it Trumpled them to the decision not to support the process of appointments, resulting in delays.

From December …

US President Donald Trump had announced the appointment of Kimberly Gilfail as US ambassador to Greece in December 2024, talking about her in very warm words: “For many years, Kimberly has been a close girlfriend and ally,” he said. “Her great experience and her abilities in law, media and politics, combined with her sharp mind make her extremely appropriate to represent the US and preserve their interests abroad.”

Then, on July 9, he crossed the US Senate’s threshold for hearing from the Committee of International Affairs, and received the “green light” with 13 votes in favor and 9 against.

Kimberly, in her presentation, praised the role of the Greek Greek community in the US and the development of the country’s economy, talked about her respect for Orthodoxy and religious freedoms while committing to work to further strengthen the relationships between the two peoples.

Senate plenary finally ratified on Thursday, 48 of the president’s candidates Donald Trump (including Kimberly) in a single vote, since the Republican majority activated the ‘Nuclear choice’ And they are the first candidates to be confirmed since the rules changed.

“If the Senate had continued at the pace we went through throughout July, there would still be hundreds of empty offices on the last day of President Trump’s term in 2029”said the Republican majority leader on Thursday John Thun.
