Abstract
The chapter details the CIA’s relationship with Trump during his Presidency. One of Trump’s first actions as President was to visit the CIA where he proclaimed ‘backing’ for the organisation, but the CIA and the President often viewed the world, and, indeed, the mission of the CIA, very differently. This led to serious questions over the Trump administrations’ respect for the independence of the CIA’s analytical judgements, and the potential for politicisation of intelligence, particularly on issues like Iran’s nuclear programme. How did the CIA adapt to this new situation.?
