Washington Week with The Atlantic

After a busy week of diplomacy, is Ukraine closer to peace?

Season 2025 Episode 34 | 14m 15s

It was a startling moment on the tarmac in Alaska when President Trump, catching his first glimpse of Vladimir Putin, started applauding. It’s not impossible to imagine that this was the moment European leaders decided to visit Washington, forming a phalanx around the Ukrainian president. The panel discusses what’s next for Trump as he pursues a settlement in Ukraine, and a Nobel Peace Prize.

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.
