NPR's Morning Edition aired a segment on November 5, 2026, asking how much a Democrat-led Congress could change U.S. foreign policy. The segment is available on NPR's website.
Foreign policy is how a government deals with other countries. Congress, made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate, is the branch of the federal government that writes the nation's laws.
Host Leila Fadel interviewed Anne Applebaum, a historian and journalist, about how much influence a Democrat-led Congress can have over that policy. The segment asked whether a Congress controlled by Democrats would change how President Donald Trump approaches foreign policy.
