Trump's Man in Britain
There's a new ambassador in place, and there's a major relocation to a new embassy site. The ambassador's agenda is to use Brexit as a chance to promote 'America First'.

The President has set the agenda and tasked the ambassador to redefine the special relationship after Brexit. This episode follows the ambassador's first six months in office and has exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the embassy as it makes its historic move from Grosvenor Square to Vauxhall, where embassy staff hope it will be opened by the President.

At this time of heightened scrutiny, consular staff must sort through Florida's sun-seekers and business people to spot the would-be economic migrants, terrorists, money launderers and former criminals trying to convince the person behind the window that they should be allowed in.
