Kieran Murray

Kieran Murray is Reuters’ Washington bureau chief and news editor for the United States and Canada. His family is Irish and he grew up in the United Kingdom, but left for a 6-month trip to Spain 35 years ago and stumbled fortuitously into a career in international journalism. A specialist in political news and conflict reporting, he has worked for Reuters from more than 20 countries, primarily in Latin America and Africa, as a correspondent, bureau chief, editor and news editor. He moved to Washington as bureau chief in January 2017, just as Donald Trump took office as president.
