How Kimberly Guilfoyle was forced to resign as US ambassador to Greece

Weekend

Available for 21 days

This week the White House asked the US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign after allegations of improper conduct. She says she will vigorously deny the allegations including that she sought money from MAGA donor Eric Deters. We speak to Mr Deters and get a perspective from Greece. Also in the programme: President Macron vows to punish vandals after France experiences one of the most violent protests in years; and the Trump administration has defended a decision to pause sanctions against Russia. We'll hear from the Democratic Congressman Suhas Subramanyam. Joining Celia Hatton on the programme are Norwegian author and journalist 脜sne Seierstad and Michael Shear, the chief United Kingdom correspondent for the New York Times.
