The leaders of Russia, China, and North Korea gathered in Beijing this week in a present of power that highlighted their strengthening alliance. On Washington Week With The Atlantic, panelists joined to debate this and extra.
“If you happen to take a look at this gathering earlier this week, you had America’s foremost adversaries declaring that their objective was to convey an finish to the rules-based, post-war worldwide order” that was “created and pushed by the USA for our personal profit,” Stephen Hayes, the editor of The Dispatch, defined final night time. But, he continued, it’s as if the Trump administration “is them doing this” and saying, in impact, “How can we assist?” Donald Trump is “choosing fights with our allies and accommodating our enemies,” Hayes argued.
In the meantime, in a contentious listening to this week, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. defended his strikes as secretary of well being and human providers earlier than the Senate. The panel mentioned how Kennedy’s insurance policies, together with his anti-vaccine agenda, turned in style with the MAGA base—and what it may imply for the way forward for American public well being.
