"Foreign ministers from Greenland and Denmark met with the Trump administration this week amid the president's bid for the island nation. Panelists on Washington Week With The Atlantic joined to discuss. Although "Trump campaigned on fixing the economy" and "removing illegal immigrants from the country," Atlantic staff writer Nancy Youssef said last night, "at the start of 2026 we're focused so much on foreign policy and intervention and the U.S. military might overseas.""
"Joining the editor in chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, last night to consider this, and more: Jonathan Karl, the chief Washington correspondent at ABC News; David Sanger, a White House and national-security correspondent at The New York Times; Nick Schifrin, a foreign-affairs and defense correspondent at PBS News Hour; and Youssef, a staff writer at The Atlantic. Watch the full episode here."
Foreign ministers from Greenland and Denmark met with U.S. officials amid President Trump's bid to purchase Greenland. The meeting occurred against the backdrop of a presidency that campaigned on fixing the economy and removing illegal immigrants. At the start of 2026, the United States is instead emphasizing foreign policy, intervention, and military capabilities overseas. The diplomatic engagement reflects heightened attention to Arctic geopolitics, territorial interests, and strategic military positioning. The timing underscores tensions between domestic policy priorities and expanding international security and territorial concerns.
