Trump’s Greenland threats and imperialist ambitions

Season 2026 Episode 2 | 19m 32s

It’s been another tumultuous week for America, and for America’s allies and adversaries. It was only a week ago that Delta Force operators snatched Nicolas Maduro from his home in Venezuela, and it was only a few days ago that we all realized that President Trump was completely serious about seizing Greenland.

Major funding for “Washington Week with The Atlantic” is provided by Consumer Cellular, Otsuka, Kaiser Permanente, the Yuen Foundation, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
