US President Biden Nominates Close Political Ally And Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti As New Ambassador To India
US President Joe Biden
United States (US) President Joseph Biden has nominated his known political ally Eric Garcetti as his nominee for the next Ambassador of the US to India, reports Hindustan Times.
Aged 50, Garcetti is presently serving as the Mayor of Los Angeles. In that capacity, he oversees the busiest container port in the Western Hemisphere, the largest municipal utility in the country, and one of the busiest airports in the world, as per the information shared by the White House.
Following President Biden's victory, Garcetti was also named one of the co-chairs of the inauguration committee. He was even expected to receive a Cabinet berth in the new administration.
It should be noted that President Biden's ambassadorial nominee for India will be one of the more high-profile announcements for the administration given the focus the US President has brought on ties with India, bilaterally and as part of the Quad with Japan and Australia.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
