Donald Trump traveled to Alaska yesterday to meet with Vladimir Putin. In the brief remarks that followed the summit, Trump acknowledged that he and the Russian president had not reached a deal to end the war in Ukraine. “There’s no deal until there’s a deal,” Trump said. Panelists on Washington Week With The Atlantic joined to discuss the U.S.-Russia summit—and what the outcome might mean for Ukraine.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration this week deployed National Guard troops to take over Washington, D.C.’s police department. The president has said that there is a crime crisis in the capital city, even as violent-crime rates in D.C. have hit a 30-year low.
Joining the editor in chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, to discuss this and more: David Ignatius, a foreign-affairs columnist at The Washington Post; Zolan Kanno-Youngs, a White House correspondent for The New York Times; Scott MacFarlane, a justice correspondent at CBS News; and Vivian Salama, a staff writer at The Atlantic.
