Coming up on Washington Week with The Atlantic:
Trump & Zelenskyy’s Meeting and Pressuring the Press
After weeks of rising tensions between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the two leaders are set to meet face to face at the White House on Friday, where they are expected to sign a rare earth minerals deal – which Zelenskyy has stressed hinges on U.S. security guarantees and aid.
Meanwhile, in an unprecedented move viewed as an attempt to pressure the press, the Trump administration announced that they will now handpick which news organizations will be part of a select pool of reporters that routinely cover the President.
Joining guest moderator and staff writer at The Atlantic, Franklin Foer, to discuss this and more:
- Peter Baker, Chief White House Correspondent, The New York Times
- Jonathan Karl, Chief Washington Correspondent, ABC News
- Ashley Parker, Staff Writer, The Atlantic
- Nancy Youssef, National Security Correspondent, The Wall Street Journal
Major funding for “Washington Week with The Atlantic” is provided by Consumer Cellular, the Yuen Foundation, Sandra and Carl DeLay-Magnuson, Rose Hirschel and Andy Shreeves, Robert and Susan Rosenbaum, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and PBS.
