📢 🇺🇸 🇾🇪 Trump: The Houthis are behaving very badly. I thought they learned their lesson a year ago when we bombed the HELL out of them and, at their request, stopped.

They’ve been silent for a long time, but now they’ve emerged again, probably at the behest of Iran, which is a Failing Nation, with No Navy, No Airforce, the World’s Worst Economy, and 301% Inflation, in a very nasty way, hitting Saudi Arabia, and purposefully trying to drive up Oil Prices, probably prior to the U.S. Elections — NOT NICE.

Somebody should explain to them that I’m not running in the Elections, I’ve already won, IN A MASSIVE LANDSLIDE, but I’ll be there after the Elections, and I will never forget!

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — The Iran war has cost U.S. consumers an estimated $265 billion since late February, equivalent to roughly $2,000 per household, according to Moody’s Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi.

Higher energy prices account for approximately $1,100 of the average household's additional costs, with that figure increasing by around $50 per week.

Gasoline now averages $4.34 per gallon, compared with $2.98 before the war, while diesel prices remain near record highs due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.

🇺🇸🇬🇷 Trump fires ambassador to Greece Guilfoyle after reports of misconduct

The White House said on Tuesday it ​had asked US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign after a series of news reports raised concerns she sold access ‌to Trump administration officials in exchange for money, gifts and favors.

US President Donald Trump had said on Monday that he was considering firing Guilfoyle, who was once engaged to his son Donald Trump Jr. On Tuesday, he told reporters: "She was doing a good job, but we didn't like what we were reading."

US lawmakers had raised the alarm after a series of stories ​in the Wall Street Journal beginning last month that detailed Guilfoyle's conduct, including claims she threatened to use US influence to undermine the ​Greek government.

New White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia confirmed Guilfoyle had been asked to resign, telling a briefing: "She has ⁠been a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her well."

In a post on X, Guilfoyle repeated denials of wrongdoing and said her gratitude and ​respect for Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio remained "unwavering."

One of the reports published by the Journal described Guilfoyle's close relationship with a lobbyist for a Greek energy company and her promotion of that firm, while another cited audio recordings of ​Guilfoyle bragging about her ties to wealthy Greek businessmen as she sought an invitation to a Davos dinner honoring another of Trump's sons, Eric.

US businessman ​Eric Deters also told the newspaper that Guilfoyle, a former San Francisco prosecutor, had offered access to Trump administration officials for money, at one point asking him to pay ‌her $100,000 credit ⁠card bill. Britain's Daily Mail reported last week that the State Department's internal watchdog was looking into complaints of inappropriate behavior from staff at the Athens embassy.

Guilfoyle's tenure in Athens was high profile from the start as she appeared on the cover of Vogue ​Greece and attended late-night parties with Greek celebrities.

She aggressively touted American interests, including signing deals for the import of ​US liquefied natural ⁠gas and drilling deals involving companies including Exxon Mobil.

But she also created diplomatic waves. In her first interview with local media after arriving last November, she said China should sell its 67% stake in the port of Piraeus, which has become a cornerstone of Beijing's Belt and Road Initiative. China’s ambassador to Greece, Fang Qiu, responded ⁠by accusing the ​US of having "an outdated and a harmful mentality" and "a hegemonic mindset."
