European Ambassador to the US and former Irish Prime Minister John Bruton stopped by today for an engaging chat on climate change, the EU, the world economy, and his relative outsider’s perspective on American politics. The end of his term as ambassador is approaching, and Bruton told us he was very much looking forward to returning to his hometown near Dublin—but isn’t savoring being out of the job. Given his insight into world politics, we don’t doubt Bruton will find an employer in short order.
