Washington Week with The Atlantic

Trump's new national security strategy turns on allies

Season 2025 Episode 50 | 15m 38s

President Trump’s anger with Ukraine and his propensity to support Russia puts him at odds with British, French and German counterparts. But his new national security strategy suggests America’s traditional allies are actually foes, not friends.

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.
