US President Donald Trump has nominated entrepreneur Anji Sinha to serve as the new United States Ambassador to Singapore.

Yet, Dr Sinha is relatively little known, with no presence on websites or social media platforms. This appointment is still subject to confirmation by the Senate.

So, who exactly is Dr Sinha? Why did Trump choose Sinha as his ambassador? And how will the Senate confirmation process play out given that there are other high-profile nominees awaiting approval?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Kevin Chen, Associate Research Fellow with the US Programme at IDSS, RSIS to find out more.

The Big Story: Who is Anji Sinha, Trump’s pick for US ambassador to Singapore?

US President Donald Trump has officially departed Beijing, closing out a tense two-day summit with Xi Jinping that both Washington and Beijing are already branding as historic. Trump is calling the visit “very successful,” while Xi is positioning it as a defining moment in US-China ties.

But beyond the grand optics and diplomatic theatre, this meeting tackled some of the world’s biggest flashpoints, from trade, energy and Iran to Taiwan and the future of the Strait of Hormuz.

So what was genuinely accomplished behind closed doors? Was this a meaningful reset between two rival superpowers, or simply carefully staged diplomacy? And in the end, who truly leaves Beijing with the stronger hand?
