Foreign ministers from Greenland and Denmark met with the Trump administration this week amid the president’s bid for the island nation. Panelists on Washington Week With The Atlantic joined to discuss.
Although “Trump campaigned on fixing the economy” and “removing illegal immigrants from the country,” Atlantic staff writer Nancy Youssef said last night, “at the start of 2026 we’re focused so much on foreign policy and intervention and the U.S. military might overseas.”
Joining the editor in chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, last night to consider this, and more: Jonathan Karl, the chief Washington correspondent at ABC News; David Sanger, a White House and national-security correspondent atThe New York Times; Nick Schifrin, a foreign-affairs and defense correspondent at PBS News Hour; and Youssef, a staff writer at The Atlantic.
