Washington Week with The Atlantic

Trump faces opposition to war from NATO allies, MAGA base

Season 2026 Episode 12 | 9m 14s

President Trump is angry at NATO and insulting the alliance as “a paper tiger” for not supporting his effort to open the Strait of Hormuz, even as he sends more Marines to possibly do that very job. The panel discusses the global opposition to the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran.
