I'm in the UK, and know several people currently applying to PhD and fellowship positions. It's near-impossible for UK applicants to get them these days (unless they're reserved for UK citizens) because there's been this huge influx of Ivy-league students from the US fleeing Trumpism, with glowing letters of recommendation. If this goes on, the US is going to really feel the effects of brain drain.
