Although the Kimberly Gilfile She had received the approval of the Senate International Relations Committee for her posting at the US Embassy in Greece, the Democrats were frozen until September, refusing to allow Donald Trump’s candidates to be quickly confirmed.
Kimberly Gilfile is among the approximately 130 presidential candidates for positions in executive powerwho did not officially receive the final approval of the Senate, which interrupted its work for the summer and in this way, Democrats made a “capsule” to President Trump.
