Coming up on Washington Week with The Atlantic:
Reality Check
President Trump continued to advance his agenda to reshape the country, and the world, in his image, this week by imposing additional global tariffs, potentially obscuring future job number reports, and proposing a redesign of the actual White House.
One notable exception to that growing list is ending the war in Ukraine. He hopes to change that next week during his first meeting with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin since returning to office.
