While Singapore's government simply chooses its ambassadors directly, the US has a more complex process where the President nominates candidates who must then face hearings by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, followed by votes in both the committee and full Senate. This process can be quick or take years, as happened during Trump's first term when no ambassador was confirmed for Singapore at all. In March 2025, Trump nominated Dr Anjani Sinha as US Ambassador to Singapore, but the nominee remained completely mysterious to the public. Despite media reports, nobody knew who he was - even major outlets like the Straits Times couldn't determine if he was a medical doctor or held a doctorate. The only information came from Trump's Truth Social post describing him as a "highly respected entrepreneur with an incredible family." There were no official photos, and journalists had to conduct online investigations to uncover his identity, eventually determining he was likely an orthopedic surgeon whose name "Anji" was short for "Anjani." The nomination gained widespread attention when footage of Senator Tammy Duckworth grilling Dr Sinha during his confirmation hearing went viral on 9 July 2025. However, the actual hearing wasn't as intense as the viral clips suggested, as it included multiple nominations for various ambassadorial posts including Greece. The hearing was part of the standard confirmation process that all nominees must undergo. Despite the viral moment, Dr Sinha's confirmation appears likely since Trump's party holds a Senate majority, meaning he'll probably be confirmed unless serious issues emerge. He's actually an old friend and golf buddy of Trump who also served as Trump's son's surgeon, giving him a strong personal connection to the President.
