Is Trump a Russian asset? Fiona Hill on the President she worked for

About this episode

Fiona Hill discusses her insights on Donald Trump's presidency and his relationship with Russia amidst current geopolitical tensions.

Fiona Hill served in Donald Trump's first administration and is one of the most authoritative voices on geopolitics. She advised on his Russia strategy and matters of national intelligence - before becoming a witness in his impeachment in 2019. She has worked up close and personal with the President. And, as the war in Iran rages, and Putin continues to try and chisel Trump away from Europe's position on Ukraine, she came into the News Agents studio to try and make sense of the new age of international turmoil ushered in by Trump's second term. What does she understand about the Putin-Trump relationship? Is the President compromised? Is Trump a fundamentally different man now compared to his first term? And is he backsliding America into territory similar to Russia? The News Agents - USA is a Global Production. The News Agents USA is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/
