President Trump is on the cusp of ending the Iran war he started.

He's also thinking about invading Cuba,

and he's simultaneously making America's allies in Europe and Asia

wonder if they can ever trust the U.S. again.

And he's also threatening to blow up Oman for reasons unknown.

Our question tonight, what happens to the world

if the U.S. is no longer seen as a stable, dependable superpower?

Next.

This is Washington Week with the Atlantic.

Good evening and welcome to Washington Week.

The U.S. seems to be on the cusp of a negotiated settlement with Iran.

A country President Trump promised

three months ago he would unconditionally defeat.

Tonight, I'll discuss the war and its consequences with David Ignatius of the Washington Post.

David is the not-so-elder statesman of foreign policy, commentary, and analysis, and he has decades

of experience on the Iran question, along with deep

and wide knowledge of America's other adversaries and its friends. David and I have been in

conversation for years about America's unique role in the post-World War II international

order, because that's our idea of a good time. And tonight, I'll ask him about Trump's revolutionary

approach to global leadership.

David, thank you for being here.

It's great to be here.
