In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: 

• We’ll kick things off with a major update on the Trump administration’s trade war, as the president pauses tariffs on a host of goods from Mexico and Canada for a period of one month, praising Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum’s cooperation with the U.S. on the southern border.

• Later in the show, EU leaders gathered for emergency talks in Brussel on Thursday in the hopes of drastically boosting defense spending following President Trump’s reversal of U.S. policies on Ukraine.

• Plus, at least 15 people were injured in South Korea on Thursday after their military accidentally dropped eight bombs on a civilian area during a joint training exercise near the North Korean border.

• In our 'Back of the Brief' segment, anti-Israel protests took a darkly radical turn this week at Columbia University, as an antisemitic mob calling for “Death to America” hung an effigy of a school administrator and handed out flyers authored by the “Hamas Media Office” glorifying the barbaric 7 October attacks.
