PREVIEW — Ken Vogel — High-Stakes Lobbying for Somalia During the Trump Administration. Vogel recounts the story of American lobbyist Robert Strick, hired by the Somali government at $100,000 monthly compensation to preserve U.S. military aid and prevent American military disengagement from Somalia during the incoming Trumpadministration. Vogel documents Strick's dangerous diplomatic mission to Mogadishu, which included exposure to gunfire near security checkpoints, illustrating the extraordinary personal risks professional lobbyists undertake on behalf of clients fearing American strategic abandonment and the geopolitical and security consequences of reduced U.S.engagement and resource commitment.
