The Senate has confirmed David Cohen, a tech executive who once served as chief of staff to the mayor of Philadelphia, to be the next U.S. ambassador to Canada.
Cohen, a lawyer, lobbyist and fundraiser who served as a senior adviser and chief diversity officer at U.S. communications giant Comcast, was nominated in July by President Joe Biden.
He also hosted the first fundraising event of Biden's successful 2020 presidential election campaign. But he also suggested the Biden administration was growing impatient with Ottawa's long-term China policy. He also said he would be involved in discussions to “make sure that Canada's policies reflect its words in terms of the treatment of China.”
