U.S. President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, according to a report by the Associated Press.
As reported by the U.S. news agency, the allegations concern possible inappropriate, and even illegal actions by the U.S. ambassador to Greece, with the case having caused intense discontent at the highest levels of the Trump administration.
A senior U.S. official, cited by the AP, stated today—speaking on condition of anonymity—that Trump and Rubio are “extremely angry” about what has come to light regarding Gilfoyle and that they are likely to decide on their next steps within the week.
The official claimed that Marco Rubio is particularly annoyed by the situation. In fact, his annoyance is reportedly compounded by the fact that he visited Athens just last week, with Gilfoyle greeting him with a warm embrace upon his arrival and accompanying him to most, if not all, his public appearances, even as the allegations against her were already in the spotlight.
According to the Associated Press, the discussion about Gilfoyle’s future is linked to a series of Wall Street Journal articles describing alleged practices that raise ethical concerns and potential legal violations.
The future of the U.S. ambassador to Athens may be decided in the coming days, as Trump and Rubio are reportedly considering their available options.
