US ambassador in Greece hints at American role in Romanian government ouster and warns of similar moves in Greece

At a March gathering in Athens attended by Greek and US officials, Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle claimed the United States had a hand in the dismissal of Romania’s Bolojan government and warned that Washington could repeat such actions in Greece. Her comments provoked a sharp rebuttal from Greek Energy Minister Stavros Papastavrou, who asserted that the US cannot replace Greece’s elected government. The incident coincides with recent political turbulence in Romania, where the PSD party broke its coalition with the PNL, leading to an internal vote and a subsequent motion of no confidence that removed Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan. Reports also note Guilfoyle’s involvement in promoting the “Green Corridor” gas project across the region and her past relationship with Donald Trump Jr. The controversy highlights tensions over US energy initiatives and perceived political influence in Eastern Europe.
