Coming up on Washington Week with The Atlantic:

American Instability 

In less than two months since his return to the White House, Donald Trump has upended decades of foreign policy by targeting traditional allies and seeming to side with enemies. The effects of his actions are not only being felt abroad, but also here at home, as his erratic approach to tariffs continues to upset the financial markets.

All of this looms against the backdrop of a possible government shutdown, while a glaring question remains: what, if anything, will Democrats do to take on Trump and the GOP?

Joining editor in chief of The Atlantic and moderator, Jeffrey Goldberg, to discuss this and more: 

  • Laura Barrón-López, White House Correspondent, PBS News Hour
  • Stephen Hayes, Editor, The Dispatch 
  • David Sanger, White House and National Security Correspondent, The New York Times

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.
