Eric Garcetti appointed as US Ambassador to India, strengthening ties.
TL;DR Summary
Former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has been confirmed as the next U.S. ambassador to India after a nearly two-year process. President Biden's nomination of Garcetti was initially stalled due to concerns about a former top aide's alleged sexual harassment of colleagues. However, Biden's loyalty to Garcetti and the importance of the ambassadorship to U.S.-India relations ultimately led to his confirmation, with seven Republicans joining Democrats in approving him for the post. Garcetti's close relationship with Biden is seen as a benefit to the U.S. relationship with India.
