Trump's national security strategy and how it may play out

Season 2026 Episode 1 | 20m 14s

President Trump recently released his new national security strategy. It’s a remarkable document that upends many of the principles that have guided U.S. policymaking since the end of World War II. Jeffrey Goldberg and Tom Friedman discuss the new strategy and how it may play out in conflict zones around the world.

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.
