Washington Week with The Atlantic

Will Trump go to war with Venezuela in 2026?

Season 2026 Episode 1 | 3m 26s

Two issues that are bubbling up as we move forward into 2026 are Venezuela and Iran. Jeffrey Goldberg and Tom Friedman discuss President Trump's pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and Trump saying the U.S. will "come to the rescue" if Iran's government kills peaceful protesters.
