American politician? (9)
I believe the answer is:
statesman
This clue could be a double definition.
'american' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'politician?' is the second definition.
(statesman is a kind of politician)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for statesman that I've seen before include "Political leader" , "Leading politician" , "Distinguished politician" , "Government minister" , "Eminent politician" .)
