Nick Bryant was a foreign correspondent for the BBC and has been posted in Washington, South Asia, Australia and, most recently, New York, where he covered the Trump years. His writing appears in world-famous publications and he broadcasts regularly on the BBC and ABC. Nick studied history at Cambridge and has a doctorate in American politics from Oxford.
