For the eighth episode of ECFR’s Swamp Chronicles, Aslı Aydıntaşbaş and Jeremy Shapiro talk to Fiona Hill, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and former deputy assistant to the president and senior director for European and Russian affairs on the US National Security Council, about the future of transatlantic relations and the war in Ukraine after the election.

Hill discusses America’s global leadership and the impact of a smaller US presence in Europe. Sharing her experience from the first Trump administration, she warns of the lack of ‘adults in the room’ during a potential second Trump term and the impact his choice of personnel might have on the American government. Hill also talks about the potential future of the war in Ukraine under both Trump and Kamala Harris, and the complications that lie ahead for the next US president when dealing with Putin and Russia.
