Putin to Trump: 'the nuclear option would be on the table'

Description

Fiona Hill says Putin tried to tell Trump that in a conflict 'the nuclear option would be on the table' but she didn't think the former president understood the warning. Russian President Vladimir Putin warned former President Donald Trump that if it came down to it, he would use the nuclear option, but Trump missed the warning, Fiona Hill said. Hill, the former Senior Director for Europe and Russia at the United States National Security Council, told Politico's Maura Reynolds that the road ahead in Russia's invasion of Ukraine is dangerous. On Sunday, Putin ordered Russia's nuclear deterrent forces to be put on high alert, meaning the weapons have been ordered to be prepared for an increased possibility of launch, Insider's Connor Perrett reported.
