The 56-year-old\u2019s engagement to Trump Jr. ended late last year.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump welcomed Guilfoyle warmly during the East Room ceremony, praising her as a \u201cgreat friend\u201d and touting her affection for Greece. \u201cShe loves our country and she loves Greece, and now she\u2019s going to be the future ambassador to the Hellenic Republic,\u201d Trump declared to an enthusiastic crowd. Pulling her onstage, he added, \u201cShe represents the Greek culture very well,\u201d despite Guilfoyle\u2019s Puerto Rican and Irish heritage. The president greeted her with an air kiss and a hug, signaling strong support for her nomination, which still awaits Senate confirmation.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kimberly Guilfoyle joins Trump at White House for Greek Independence Day, touts her ambassador nomination to Greece.

Trump Jr. brought Anderson as his date to Mar-a-Lago on New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n<p>Guilfoyle\u2019s potential move to Athens hinges on Senate approval, a process historically lenient for politically connected nominees like her.<\/p>\n<p>The Greek Independence Day event also featured Alek Skarlatos, a Republican Oregon state representative and hero of the 2015 Thalys train attack. Trump invited Skarlatos to speak, recalling his bravery in subduing a terrorist on a train from Amsterdam to Paris. \u201cAlek and his comrades charged the gunman despite being completely unarmed and beat him into submission,\u201d Trump said. Skarlatos shared a lighthearted memory of Trump watching Clint Eastwood\u2019s film <em>The 15:17 to Paris<\/em>, which depicted the incident. \u201cWhen it came to the part where we were beating up the terrorist, the president hit me on the shoulder and said, \u2018Right on,\u2019\u201d Skarlatos recounted, drawing cheers.<\/p>\n<p>The celebration underscored Trump\u2019s knack for blending personal loyalty with political pageantry.
