CNN’s chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour said this week that she prepared for a trip to the U.S. as if she were going to North Korea.
The British-Iranian journalist, 67, said she was “afraid” to travel to the land of the free to give an address at Harvard University last month.
“I have to tell you, when I went to Harvard to give this speech, and it was just a few days ago last week, I must say, I was afraid,” Amanpour said Wednesday on her podcast “The Ex Files,” which she hosts with her ex-husband, James Rubin, a former State Department official.
“I’m a foreigner, I don’t have a green card, I’m not an American citizen, I’m fairly prominent, and I literally prepared to go to America as if I was going to North Korea,” she said.
Amanpour has previously reported from war zones, including during the Gulf and Bosnian wars.
