During a recent episode of her podcast, Christiane Amanpour compared her travel experience to the U.S. under President Trump to visiting North Korea. Highlighting fears as a foreigner, she revealed taking extreme precautions, such as using a burner phone and discussing safety measures with CNN's security. Amanpour expressed concern over the treatment of foreigners at the U.S. border, reflecting that her apprehension highlights broader issues for non-citizens. Ultimately, she encouraged Harvard graduates to seek careers abroad, emphasizing the importance of experiencing the world beyond American borders.
I prepared to go to America as if I was going to North Korea. I took a burner phone. Imagine that, James.
I've heard that man, including British citizens, are being stopped at the border and questioned for hours and hours and hours.
So, huge sigh of relief I breathed, but wow, can you imagine if I'm afraid, what do others think?
Go abroad and start your career, I say that in many graduations, and I'm saying it today for a reason.
