The Trump administration has asked U.S. ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign after The Wall Street Journal reported she is accused of soliciting or accepting money and other benefits and of offering to use her influence and government contacts to secure favors. White House press secretary Katie Zacharia told reporters at a Tuesday briefing, "She has been a very good member of the team and we wish her well going forward."

Bank of Korea Governor Shin said further won appreciation would be beneficial and has boosted household purchasing power since the central bank moved to tightening. He said the BoK will maintain a restrictive monetary stance until it is confident inflation can return to target in a timely manner. Shin added a stronger won shifts growth toward domestic demand and helps narrow the K-shaped divergence; inflation, the exchange rate and financial-stability risks currently point to the same policy direction, easing the bank’s policy trade-offs.
