华盛顿，10月13日 - 白宫周二表示，已要求美国驻希腊大使金伯利·吉尔福伊尔辞职。
WASHINGTON, Oct 13 - The White House said on Tuesday that it had asked US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign.
“我们已要求吉尔福伊尔大使辞职，”白宫新闻秘书凯蒂·扎卡里亚在简报会上表示。“她一直是团队的重要成员，我们祝她一切顺利。”
"We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign," said White House press secretary Katie Zacharia at a briefing. "She has been a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her well."
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周一曾表示，他正考虑解雇吉尔福伊尔，并对记者说：“我们对此不满意。”美国立法者此前曾对吉尔福伊尔可能利用美国影响力破坏希腊政府的指控表示担忧。华盛顿驻雅典大使馆未能立即回应针对吉尔福伊尔的置评请求。
US President Donald Trump had said on Monday that he was considering firing Guilfoyle, telling reporters: "We're not happy." US lawmakers previously expressed concerns over allegations that Guilfoyle may have threatened to use US influence to undermine the Greek government. Washington's embassy in Athens did not immediately respond to a request for comment directed to Guilfoyle.
