In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:   

  • First—we’ll have the latest developments from the war in Ukraine, as Russian leaders threaten the U.S. and NATO allies with "preemptive strikes" over President Donald Trump’s pledge to boost weapons shipments to Ukraine.


    • Later in the show—a new U.S. intelligence assessment finds that last month’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites only fully destroyed one of Iran’s three main facilities. The assessment warns that the mullahs could likely restart enrichment activity at the other two sites within just a few months. 


      • Plus—China threatens to torpedo a deal that would grant America control over two key ports near the Panama Canal. We’ll discuss the implications for President Trump’s vision of American dominance over the critical trade passage.


        • In our 'Back of the Brief—the Trump administration sanctions the leadership of Venezuela’s notoriously violent Tren de Aragua gang in their latest attempts to crack down on the group’s drug and human trafficking operations.
