Fabula

Iceland

Description

Iceland erupts into White House pressures as a sovereign nation whose ambassador meeting—canceled amid Bartlet's crushing schedule—ignites urgent diplomatic choreography. Leo unleashes the fix: a Kennedy Center concert starring the Reykjavik Symphony, barreling to derail their brazen pivot toward defying the whaling ban. This high-stakes gambit, shadowed by Vigdis Olafsdottir's likely ambassadorship, yanks presidential downtime into the fray, forging cultural overtures as weapons against international rupture in Arctic seas where harpoons loom over fragile accords.
