Fiona Hill, who previously served as national security adviser to Donald Trump, has alleged that the former U.S. president aspires to lead the country in a manner resembling that of Vladimir Putin.

Speaking during an interview on Sky News’ The World with Yalda Hakim, Hill said that both Trump and the Russian president view global politics as a contest among three dominant powers Russia, the United States, and China each with distinct spheres of influence.

“This is the first time we’ve had a US president who wants to emulate the Russian leader in some way, who wants to create a hyper-personalised presidency, who wants to basically govern his own country in a very similar fashion, very top down without any checks and balances,” Hill said.

Hill served as Deputy Assistant to the President and led the European and Russian affairs division on the National Security Council from 2017 to 2019, during Trump’s first term.

Following the UK’s 2024 general election, Hill took on the role of defence advisor to the British government.

She also asserted that Trump had a desire to “reset, normalize, and institutionalize” the diplomatic relationship between Washington and Moscow.

“That’s very clear, it’s been clear since the first presidency of Trump,” she said.

“He’s always wanted to sit down with Vladimir Putin and sort out all of the difficulties in the bilateral relationship, everything from nuclear issues and nuclear arms reduction – there’s all kinds of economic and business deals that Trump himself and his immediate circle are very interested in.

“That was not the direction of travel of other US presidents. So in actual fact there’s probably more chance under Trump of a close relationship between the US and Putin.”
