The Washington Roundtable discusses Donald Trumpâs use of force in Venezuela, his desire to take over Greenland, and the historical echoes of the Administrationâs new imperialist projects. The panel also considers Trumpâs brand of ânarcissistic unilateralismâ and the increased risks of global conflict when foreign policy is based on one manâs whims. âDonald Trump wants to write his name into history,â the staff writer Susan B. Glasser says. âHe wants every single person in the world to have to exchange their map for one of the United States that looks different, that looks bigger, and that everybody for all eternity will say, âDonald Trump did this.â â This weekâs reading:
