Michael Weiss: Helsinki in Anchorage?

In this episode of The Bulwark Podcast, Tim Miller interviews Michael Weiss, editor of The Insider, about the upcoming summit in Alaska. They discuss the symbolic victory for Russia in holding the summit on American soil, the large Russian delegation, and potential deals that could be made. Weiss expresses concerns about Trump's approach to Putin and the war in Ukraine, but notes institutional bulwarks and European Union sanctions that could limit Trump's actions. They also touch on the situation in Washington, D.C., recent Russian military advances, and Russia's ongoing war against the West through sabotage and recruitment of assets. The conversation shifts to Europe's changing views on Israel and the potential impact of tariffs on geopolitical relations. Weiss emphasizes the importance of Europe's role in supporting Ukraine and maintaining sanctions against Russia, even if Trump seeks to undermine these efforts.
