In 2009, Secretary of State [[Hillary Clinton]] admitted the CFR's massive influence in the U.S. government, stating that "we get a lot of advice from the Council, so this [CFR headquarters move] will mean I won’t have as far to go to be told what we should be doing and how we should think about the future."<ref>McManus, John F.

Even U.S. President [[Donald Trump]]'s administration was not free from CFR influence. Several important [[Trump Administration]] members, including National Security Advisor [[H.R. McMaster]] (who replaced non-CFR member [[Mike Flynn]]) and Trade Representative [[Robert Lighthizer]]. Other appointees, including Secretary of State [[Rex Tillerson]], have friendly relations with the CFR.<ref>Multiple references:
