Biden nominated Kennedy's daughter Caroline as U.S. Ambassador to Australia

According to Agence France-Presse reported on the 15th, US President Biden on Wednesday (15th) nominated Caroline Kennedy as the US ambassador to Australia, giving the low-key descendants of this famous political family a new public role.

The nomination for the position of former President John F. Kennedy's only surviving child also needs confirmation from the Senate, who served as ambassador to Japan from 2013 to 2017 during the Obama administration.

Republican lawmakers in the Senate delayed approving Biden's appointments for many key diplomatic posts, a long-rumored nomination that was only proposed nearly a year after Biden took office as president.

The 64-year-old former U.S. "first daughter" ignored decades of calls within the Democratic Party to run for office, preferring a quieter life, including writing articles and working at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

But she rose to fame again as a strong supporter of Obama during the 2008 election, when she publicly praised The future Obama, who would become the first black president (under whom Biden served as vice president), was an inspiring figure that reminded her of her father.

Australia and Japan are america's closest allies, and the new U.S. ambassador has traditionally been warmly welcomed by his hosts.

But in Australia, as in Japan, Kennedy will seek to strengthen ties with the United States.

In September, Biden announced that the United States would form a new security alliance with Australia and the United Kingdom, "AUKUS", which would allow Australia to acquire nuclear submarines built with American technology. (Editor: SDY)
