"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 the Trump administration during the president's bid for the island nation. At the start of 2026 attention has shifted toward U.S. foreign policy, intervention, and military presence overseas. The president campaigned on fixing the economy and removing illegal immigrants, but current priorities emphasize strategic international engagement. The diplomatic contact highlights tensions between domestic campaign priorities and evolving foreign-policy challenges. The episode of public interest brought scrutiny to motivations, potential impacts on Arctic relationships, and the broader implications for sovereignty and U.S. influence in the region.
