President Trump told reporters earlier this week he was "not happy" with the allegations against Guilfoyle.
特朗普总统本周早些时候告诉记者,他对Guilfoyle的指控"不满意"。
President Donald Trump's administration has asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign from her position as US ambassador to Greece, White House press secretary Katie Zacharia has announced.
白宫新闻秘书凯蒂*扎卡里亚(Katie Zacharia)宣布,唐纳德*特朗普(Donald Trump)政府已要求金伯利*吉尔福伊尔(Kimberly Guilfoyle)辞去美国驻希腊大使的职务。
Guilfoyle, a former Fox News host, had been facing mounting scrutiny after reports she allegedly asked a Trump donor to pay her hefty credit card bill in exchange for access to his administration and behaving inappropriately while in Athens.
前福克斯新闻主持人吉尔福伊尔(Guilfoyle)一直面临着越来越多的审查,因为据报道她要求特朗普捐赠者支付巨额信用卡账单,以换取访问他的政府并在雅典
Trump said she had done a good job, but she will "not be there" in Greece any longer. "I didn't like what I read," he said.
特朗普说她做得很好,但她将在希腊"不再存在"。 "我不喜欢我读的东西,"他说。
Guilfoyle vowed to defend herself against the "false" claims and said the ambassadorship had been the "honour of a lifetime".
吉尔福伊尔誓言将为自己辩护,反驳这些"虚假"指控,并称这次大使职位是"一生的荣幸"。
Zacharia announced during her first - and unusually short - media briefing that Guilfoyle "had been asked to resign" without providing more details.
扎卡里亚在她的首次且异常简短的媒体简报会上宣布,吉尔福伊尔"被要求辞职",但未提供更多细节。
"She has been a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her well," she said.
"她一直是团队的宝贵资产,我们祝愿她一切顺利,"她说。
Guilfoyle, the 57-year-old ex-wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom, was first nominated as envoy to Athens in December 2024, a month before Trump returned to the White House as president.
吉尔福伊尔是加利福尼亚州州长加文·纽森的57岁前妻,她于2024年12月首次被提名为驻雅典特使,距特朗普重返白宫担任总统仅一个月。
In a lengthy post on X, Guilfoyle thanked President Trump, said she would always be a loyal supporter and denied any wrongdoing.
在X上的一篇长文中,吉尔福伊尔感谢特朗普总统,表示她将永远忠诚支持,并否认有任何不当行为。
"I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity," she wrote, adding that she will "not allow false accusations to define my decades of public service".
她写道:"我打算坚决捍卫我的名誉、声誉和诚信,"并补充说她不会"让虚假指控定义我数十年的公共服务"。
Her position had become increasingly tenuous as allegations of improper behaviour mounted over the past week.

A series of text messages seen by the BBC - and first reported by The Wall Street Journal - appear to show Guilfoyle asking for the money from Eric Deters, a long-time Trump ally.
BBC看到的一系列短信——最早由《华尔街日报》报道——似乎显示吉尔福伊尔向特朗普长期盟友埃里克·德特斯索要资金。
"It won't show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express," she wrote in one Signal message.
"如果你把钱汇到美国运通,钱不会出现在任何地方,"她在一条Signal短信中写道。
In another message - dated just days before her US Senate confirmation hearing last July - Guilfoyle wrote: "Honey please I need you to get this done for me today."
在另一条信息中——日期仅在她去年七月美国参议院确认听证会前几天——吉尔福伊尔写道:"亲爱的,拜托,我今天需要你帮我办完这件事。"

据《华尔街日报》获得的音频录音中,吉尔福伊尔吹嘘自己与希腊知名商业巨头的联系,称这些巨头资助了奢华旅行和私人飞机航班。

Following the news that Guilfoyle was being asked to leave, Deters told the BBC that "it's a great day for American diplomacy".
在得知吉尔福伊尔被要求离职的消息传出后,德特斯告诉BBC,"这是美国外交的伟大一天"。
Deters, who said he did not ultimately pay Guilfoyle, also said it was a "complete lie" that he owed her money for speaking and consulting fees and said he is planning to take legal action against her.
德特斯表示他最终并未支付吉尔福伊尔的钱,他还称自己欠她演讲和咨询费是"彻头彻尾的谎言",并表示计划对她采取法律行动。
