Trump Announces Key Diplomatic Appointments

President-elect Donald Trump has announced several key appointments, including Kimberly Guilfoyle as ambassador to Greece and Tom Barrack as ambassador to Turkey, via his Truth Social account. Guilfoyle, a former Fox News host and Trump Jr.'s partner, is expected to enhance U.S.-Greece relations focusing on defense and trade. Barrack, who was acquitted of federal lobbying charges, is viewed as a trusted ally and will represent U.S. interests in Turkey. Additionally, Trump appointed Andrew Ferguson as chair of the Federal Trade Commission, signaling a shift towards a more business-friendly approach in regulatory policies. These appointments reflect Trump's ongoing emphasis on loyalty and personal connections in his administration. The Senate will need to confirm Guilfoyle's nomination, which, if successful, would make her the first female U.S. ambassador to Greece.
