How Pres. Trump Is Using Project 2025 to Reshape America | Amanpour and Company

Video Description

President Trump is deploying the National Guard to Washington, D.C., stating that his administration aims to crack down on crime and homelessness. Some are asking if this move is part of "Project 2025." At almost 1000 pages long, it's an ambitious, and controversial, right-wing blueprint for transforming executive power. Just over 200 days into Trump's second term, one online tracker says the agenda is nearly halfway through completion. Journalist David Graham joins Hari Sreenivasan to discuss what this means for average Americans, and for American foreign policy.
