As you saw in that story, Charge d'affairs Margaret Hawthorne is still holding over as the top official at the US Embassy. That's because the new ambassador designate Carlos Moreno was nominated in the middle of last year and confirmed in October, but political disputes in the US Senate have held back the appointment of he and 15 other ambassadorial appointees. Well, not any more. Moreno, a former US Judge was unanimously confirmed by the US Senate today as US Ambassador to Belize. Moreno is a retired judge of the Supreme Court of California and was once rumored to be a candidate for the US Supreme Court.
He is expected in Belize soon.
