US Ambassador to Singapore Anjani Sinha took up the posting in late 2025.

PHILADELPHIA – An American think tank has named US Ambassador to Singapore, Anjani Sinha, in a list of individuals who allegedly benefited from making contributions to President Donald Trump’s political operations, pet projects and family firms.

Amb Sinha made a US$1 million (S$1.28 million) donation to a political action committee (PAC) aligned with Trump, which he failed to disclose during his 2025 Senate confirmation hearing, said the report released by the Center for American Progress (CAP), a progressive think tank.

It quoted findings from the Campaign Legal Center, a Washington DC-based non-partisan legal organisation, to say that Sinha “gave US$1 million to MAGA Inc in Feb 2025 and was nominated to be ambassador to Singapore the following month”.

It further notes that Sinha “failed to disclose this contribution to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee despite a legal obligation to do so”.

Checks by ST on the Federal Election Commission website showed that the donation was made on Feb 20, 2025.

A check of published Congressional records related to Sinha’s confirmation hearing, however, did not show the million-dollar donation, although other donations made by Sinha and his family members were listed.

The Straits Times asked the US Embassy in Singapore on Nov 10 to confirm the accuracy of the report. The embassy referred inquiries to the US State Department in Washington, DC, which did not respond to requests for comment.

Trump announced Sinha as his nominee for Ambassador to Singapore on March 11, 2025, via a post on Truth Social. It was received by the Senate at the end of April.
