Greece at the Heart of US Strategy: Gilfoyle Promises “Wins for Both Countries”

Greece is once again emerging as a strategic pillar of stability in the Eastern Mediterranean, according to the new United States Ambassador, Kimberly Gilfoyle. In an exclusive interview with Vogue Greece, she highlights that Greece is not merely a NATO or EU member, but a strong and strategic ally that exceeds US expectations.

“When we focus on this region, we must understand which ally has truly done everything possible to be a strong strategic partner to the US. The answer is Greece,” she emphasizes.

Gilfoyle is prioritizing the geopolitical strengthening of Greece through substantial bilateral investments and cooperation in key sectors:

• Shipping, to protect maritime routes and strengthen international trade.
• Agriculture, as a driver of economic growth and food security.
• Tourism, boosting both the economy and international visibility.
• Defense and security, aiming to safeguard Greece and the wider region.
• Technology and innovation, strengthening strategic infrastructure and digital development.
• Energy, focusing on supply security and renewable resources.

The Ambassador stresses that cooperation in these sectors benefits not only Greece, but strengthens the entire transatlantic alliance, ensuring peace and stability across the Eastern Mediterranean. “America is your ally,” she asserts, making it clear that Greek strategic goals are closely aligned with US priorities.

Gilfoyle expresses her determination to work closely with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and his cabinet, aiming for major wins that will benefit both countries. Addressing concerns over the lack of bilateral meetings with Donald Trump, she reassures: “We will be fine. We will be fine. I mean, he’s sending me.”

The Ambassador aims to leave a lasting legacy in US-Greek relations by deepening cooperation across strategic, economic, and technological sectors. Greece, she notes, is not just a member of international organizations, but a living cornerstone of US strategic interests in the Eastern Mediterranean.

The focus on defense, energy, and technology demonstrates that Greece is now considered an indispensable strategic partner for the US, capable of playing a decisive role in critical international balances. With Gilfoyle’s commitment to writing new chapters in American and Greek political history, Greece emerges as a key driver of peace, security, and cooperation in the Eastern Mediterranean.
