The CIA's transformation under Trump and Ratcliffe

While the stinging defeat in the midterms marks the start of a new phase in Donald Trump's presidency, Intelligence Online takes a look at the CIA and how it has evolved over the past two years. Under the leadership of John Ratcliffe, a spymaster as agile as he is influential, the agency now prioritises operations over analysis. Beyond Langley, these changes are evident not only in its traditional sphere of influence, Latin America, but also in its unprecedented level of collaboration with Ukrainian intelligence against Russia.
