Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti will be addressed on Tuesday by lawmakers gauging his assignment to turn into the U.S. ambassador to India.
Garcetti will appear with two other nominees for diplomatic posts at a morning hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
President Biden in July nominated the 50-year-old mayor to fill the work, a basic situation in an administration looking to construct collusions in the Indo-Pacific as a defense against China. Garcetti’s designation has delayed in the midst of a more extensive exertion by Republican senators that has eased back the affirmation interaction of many would-be diplomats.
The mayor is probably going to be gotten some information about his residency driving the country’s second biggest city, which has been battered by increasing paces of savage wrongdoing and a vagrancy emergency. What’s more he is relied upon to confront extreme inquiries from Republicans about his relationship with Hunter Biden, the president’s son. Garcetti went to Hunter Biden’s L.A. art show this fall,raising conflict-of-interest issues around whether people would seek out Biden’s work to align themselves with the president.
