Anjani Sinha, an orthopedic surgeon born in India, was berated by Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth during Wednesday’s grilling in Washington and told to “shape up and do some homework” about Singapore.
“Please, I’m trying to help you here but you have not even done your homework, sir,“ Duckworth, an Iraq war veteran, said at one point in their exchange.
A clearly exasperated Duckworth told Sinha that Singapore, one of Asia’s wealthiest and safest nations, was not a “glamour” job.
Asked how big the US trade surplus was with Singapore in 2024, Sinha replied “80 billion dollar, 18 billion dollar.”
The senator told Sinha he was “unqualified” for the posting and what the United States needed was “someone who is actually going to do the work.”
The hearing was held as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio attended an ASEAN meeting in Malaysia, where another Trump pick for ambassador was making headlines.
Adams, who reportedly previously described himself as an “alpha male”, thanked Trump on the social media platform X for the “honor of a lifetime... to represent the United States of America in Malaysia.”
