Trump has reportedly raised concerns that his generals and officers don’t incorporate enough business considerations into their intelligence briefings.

President Donald Trump is showing “less interest” in potential terrorist plots during intelligence briefings and complains that his “generals don’t understand business” because they so rarely consider economics in their analyses, according to a Sunday report by New York Times.

“President Trump’s economic focus has been evident, including his emphasis on increasing NATO allies’ burden sharing and pressing allies and partners to do more in support of our common interests,” Garrett Marquis, a spokesman for the National Security Council, said. Senator Angus King, who sits on the Senate Intelligence Committee, argued that Trump’s attitude towards intelligence briefings could result in officials softening their analysis or failing to deliver important information. “The problem,” Mr. King said, “is the message sent to agencies: ‘Don’t tell me information I don’t want to hear.’”
