A Foreign Correspondent's View || US culture war in Britain? || A debrief from Yasmeen Serhan

Britain Debrief with Ben Judah

Have American culture wars come to Britain?

For the second in a series for #BritainDebrief for the Atlantic Council asking foreign correspondents based in the UK about the country's predicament, I spoke to Yasmeen Serhan, a London-based Staff Writer at The Atlantic.
