What the briefing reports

Katie Zacharia has taken over as the new White House press secretary, holding her first briefing where she announced that US ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle has been asked to resign. According to reports from Al Jazeera and the BBC, Zacharia's briefing was her first official appearance in the role, following the departure of her predecessor Karoline Leavitt.

The BBC described the briefing as very brief, with Zacharia taking questions from only three journalists. During the briefing, Zacharia broke the news about Guilfoyle's resignation, which was confirmed by both Al Jazeera and the BBC.

The resignation of Guilfoyle is a significant development, and it remains to be seen how this will impact the US diplomatic efforts in Greece. As Zacharia settles into her new role, she will likely face more questions about the resignation and other pressing issues.
