President Trump celebrates Greek Independence Day at White House

President Donald Trump celebrated Greek Independence Day during an event at the White House on Monday.

Trump acknowledged Greek-American lawmakers and members of his administration during the event while signing a proclamation in honor of Greek Independence Day. He also invited Kimberly Guilfoyle, his pick to be U.S. ambassador to Greece, on stage saying, "She represents Greek culture very well."

Greek Independence Day is a national holiday celebrated each year on March 25 in Greece. It commemorates the start of the War of Greek Independence in 1821.

In 2020, Trump issued a proclamation honoring the holiday, which read in part, "Our great American experiment was inspired by the ideas about liberty, self-government, and the rule of law that traced their roots to ancient Greece. On Greek Independence Day, we commemorate the rich history shared between the United States and Greece, which is fortified by our love of freedom and commitment to democratic institutions. We join the Greek people in celebrating another year of independence and unity."
