On this episode of The David Frum Show, The Atlantic’s David Frum
opens with a warning: The United States’ support for Ukraine is
collapsing under Donald Trump’s second term—and with it, the global
system of peace and security that has protected Americans for
decades. David explains what Trump’s latest actions reveal about
his motivations, and why Ukraine’s survival may now depend on the
outcome of the 2024 election. Then David is joined by the former
U.S. ambassador to Ukraine and now Democratic congressional
candidate Bridget Brink, who served under both President Biden and
President Trump. They discuss the true stakes of the war, the
failure of the Trump administration to develop or execute a
coherent Ukraine policy, and why Brink ultimately chose to resign
her post. She offers a firsthand account of life in Kyiv during the
early days of the full-scale invasion, the dangers facing American
diplomats in war zones, and the institutional breakdowns now
threatening U.S. foreign policy from within. Get more from
