Coming up on Washington Week with The Atlantic:
Trump’s Tumultuous Views
In a stunning reversal, President Trump criticized President Putin this week by implying that Russia is losing the war in Ukraine, questioning the Kremlin's military strength, and going so far as to say that Ukraine could win back all of its lost territory.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration has ordered government agencies to prepare for mass firings if a funding deal is not reached ahead of next week’s deadline.
Joining editor in chief of The Atlantic and moderator, Jeffrey Goldberg, to discuss this and more:
- Stephen Hayes, Editor, The Dispatch
- Karen Tumulty, Chief Political Correspondent, The Washington Post
- Ali Vitali, Host of “Way Too Early,” MSNBC
- 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, and PBS.
