These events accompany investigations into Guilfoyle's efforts to promote Aktor, a Greek firm that secured a $6 billion LNG deal in Albania. Aktor expects signed contracts to generate €1.8B in pretax profit over 20 years. The envoy is further under scrutiny for allowing Christos Marafatsos, an Aktor lobbyist paid more than $440,000 in fees, to attend diplomatic meetings without disclosing his corporate ties, causing foreign officials to mistake him for her chief of staff.

Six days after this encounter, the party partnered with pro-Russian extremists in the AUR group to topple the government of Prime Minister Bolojan, who had opposed purchasing U.S. liquefied natural gas at prices above market rates. Sources told The Wall Street Journal that Guilfoyle later told Greek officials she had caused the Romanian government's collapse and warned that the U.S. could trigger a similar event in Greece.
