Donald Trump often says he's not a neoconservative, not an interventionist, and not a nation builder.

But he seems to be trying to remake the world to conform to his vision.

And at home, he's enabled ICE, to now fatal effect, to remake America's demographic reality.

Tonight, Trump unleashed. Next.

This is Washington Week with the Atlantic.

Good evening and welcome to Washington Week.

So it's been another tumultuous week for America and for America's allies and adversaries.

It's been one of those weeks that feels like a month.

It was only a week ago that Delta Force operators snatched Nicholas Maduro from his home in Venezuela, and it was only a few

days ago that we all realized, and by all of us, I mean NATO, that Trump was completely serious

about Seizing Greenland. And then there's ICE, death in Minneapolis,

shooting in Portland, and an overwhelming sense that Stephen Miller and company are playing for keeps.

Joining me tonight to discuss all this, Peter Baker, the Chief White House correspondent at the New York Times,

Susan Glasser is a staff writer at The New Yorker. Stephen Hayes is the editor of The Dispatch, and Vivian Salama is a staff writer at The New Yorker. Stephen Hayes is the editor of the dispatch, and Vivian Salama is a staff writer at the Atlantic.

Thank you all very much.

We'll have the debate later if this was the most intense week of all of Trump presidency.

But right now, let's just start with foreign policy issues. Peter, start us off. How would you characterize the Trump

foreign policy doctrine this week? Well, I think you're right to say this week, because in fact

it does change. But one thing we've learned, I think, is that our assumption about the first

term, that he was some sort of a neo-isolationist is wrong. That's not the way to put it. Now he's looking more like a neo-imperialist. But I think it also presupposes an ideology and a philosophy that may or may not be in his mind. It may be in the minds of people around him. I think with Trump, it's a lot more reactive, it's a lot more transactional, and it's a lot more

opportunistic.

Opportunistic.
