Washington (AFP) – The US Senate on Saturday confirmed veteran diplomat Denise Campbell Bauer as the country's next ambassador to France.
Bauer, 57, served as the US ambassador to Belgium between
2013 and 2017 and is also known as a nonprofit leader and advocate for
women in politics.
Bauer's confirmation comes as Washington seeks to mend fences with Paris after a bitter row over a scrapped submarine deal.
Nominated
by President Joe Biden in July, Bauer was confirmed by the Senate
during a marathon series of votes in the early hours of Saturday.
When
announcing Bauer's nomination earlier this summer, the White House
praised her "collaborative leadership style, high ethics standards, and
crisis management skills."
A former journalist, Bauer took an
active part in Barack Obama's two presidential campaigns, and in 2019
became head of the "Women for Biden" advocacy group in the runup to the
2020 election.
Bauer, who speaks fluent French, will also be the US ambassador to Monaco
