The U.S. Senate confirmed Adrian Zuckerman by a 65-30 vote as the new U.S. Ambassador to Romania on Wednesday.
Adrian Zuckerman immigrated to the United States from Romania at the age of 10 and is fluent in Romanian. He received his undergraduate degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and his law degree from New York Law School.
He said at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on his nomination in June that he wished to repay American hospitality by advancing U.S. interests in Romania.
“If confirmed, I would offer continued support for Romania’s noteworthy anti-corruption efforts,” Zuckerman testified in June. “Fighting corruption and support[ing] judicial independence are vital to Romania’s long-term prosperity and security.”
He got the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s go-ahead in September.
Zuckerman will be able to take office in Bucharest after the final vote by the American Congress.
