Coming up on Washington Week with The Atlantic:
An Emboldened Musk and Trump’s Ukraine Shift:
Mass firings are underway at some federal agencies this week after President Donald Trump and Elon Musk defended and expanded on their efforts to slash and overhaul the government. Trump signed new executive orders giving Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency even more power to make drastic changes to each agency.
Meanwhile, Trump revealed new details about his administration’s Ukraine policy and made reference to a likely meeting with Russia’s President Vladmir Putin, which alarmed Ukrainians and European allies.
