Brian A. Nichols
Template:Infobox Ambassador Brian Andrew Nichols[1] (born 1965) is an American diplomat. He served as the United States Ambassador to Peru from 2014 until 2017, when he was succeeded by Krishna Urs.[2] In June 2018, he was nominated to be the next U.S. Ambassador to Zimbabwe by President Donald Trump.[3] On June 28, 2018, his nomination was confirmed in the Senate by voice vote.[4] On July 19, 2018 Nichols presented his credentials to President Emmerson Mnangagwa.[5]
Ambassador to Zimbabwe and controversies[edit source | edit]
During the George Floyd protests in the United States, Nichols was summoned by the government of Zimbabwe after U.S. Secretary Advisor Robert C. O'Brien labeled Zimbabwe as a "foreign adversary" that was fomenting the protests and threatened with retaliatory action.[6]
In late July 2020, he was threatened with expulsion from the country and called a "thug" by the ruling party after accusations that he was helping organizers of an anti-government march against President Emmerson Mnangagwa.[7]
