[50] In 2017, Pratt attended Vice President Mike Pence's business roundtable at the Vice President's official residence in Washington D.C.[51] Sources have alleged that in the months after leaving office, Trump discussed classified aspects of U.S. nuclear submarines ("the supposed exact number of nuclear warheads they routinely carry, and exactly how close they supposedly can get to a Russian submarine without being detected") with Pratt, and that Pratt then shared the information with up to 45 other people "including six journalists, 11 of his company's employees, 10 Australian officials, and three former Australian prime ministers", potentially endangering the U.S. nuclear fleet.

[56] This placed Pratt in the top five donors to Trump’s campaign - along with Elon Musk, Timothy Mellon, Miriam Adelson and Linda McMahon.

He has been honoured for his efforts by Mikhail Gorbachev's Global Green USA and Ted Turner's Captain Planet Foundation.
