Kimberly Guilfoyle, the U.S. ambassador to Greece, has faced scrutiny over remarks she allegedly made during a private dinner in Athens in March 2026.

The discussion at the dinner, attended by Greek and U.S. officials, turned to the collapse of the Romanian government. A person who attended the dinner and others briefed on the exchange said Guilfoyle remarked:

“We can do that to any country we want. We can do that here.”

The comment reportedly led to a tense exchange with Greece’s energy minister Stavros Papastavrou, who responded that the U.S. could not replace Greece’s government, which was elected by voters.
