Recent articles by Marc Thiessen and Anne Applebaum have heavily criticized Kari Lake, the former Arizona GOP Senate candidate who is now CEO of the U.S. Agency for Global Media. They say she has broken that agency. Thiessen, in particular, argues that Lake’s actions have greatly weakened U.S. messaging to the Iranian people amid looming conflict. Lake says otherwise — that she was simply doing what the president tasked her to do.
Still, this disagreement encapsulates the tensions between President Donald Trump’s domestic and foreign policy agendas.
