Capturing former President Donald Trump’s attention was no easy task, according to Fiona Hill, who once advised him on Russia, but when it came to the topic of nuclear weapons, she believes he “really cared” about the issue.
In her new book, There Is Nothing for You Here, Hill describes the struggles she had working for the Trump administration from 2017 to 2019, particularly with Trump’s inability to objectively follow advice and stick to plans. However, when a topic “resonated with him and fit his personal interests,” Hill said the former president would “perk up.”
“Countering terrorism, striking back against [Syrian President Bashar] al-Assad when he used chemical weapons against the civilian population in Syria, trade tariffs, and dealing with China fell into that category,” Hill wrote.
