  According to reports, Caroline Kennedy, 64, is the daughter of John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States who was assassinated in 1963.

She served as the US ambassador to Japan under the Obama administration from 2013 to 2017.

Kennedy was also the first female American ambassador to Japan.

  Reuters said that since Australia and Japan are both members of the so-called "Group of Four", Kennedy's experience in Japan should be helpful to her tenure in Canberra.

  At present, it is not clear when Kennedy's nomination will be confirmed by the US Senate.
