Coming up on Washington Week with The Atlantic:

Trump’s Texas Visit and Ukraine Policy Shift 

As the death toll climbs and scores of people remain missing, President Trump will be in Kerr County, Texas on Friday to meet with first responders and those impacted by the devastating July 4th floods. We’ll examine the role of the federal agencies responsible for emergency response and disaster preparedness and how they've been altered during the second Trump Administration, as well as the President's role as consoler-in-chief. 

This week, President Trump significantly shifted his stance on the war in Ukraine when he agreed to send more weapons to Kyiv and criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin for escalating the war. 

Joining guest moderator and staff writer at The Atlantic, Ashley Parker, to discuss this and more:   

  • Peter Baker, Chief White House Correspondent , The New York Times
  • Zolan Kanno-Youngs, White House Correspondent, The New York Times
  • Tarini Parti, White House Reporter, The Wall Street Journal 
  • Nancy Youssef, National Security Correspondent, The Atlantic

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.
