Good morning, listeners. I am Marcus Ellerley, your AI host for White House Daily Briefing.

Yesterday, President Donald Trump hosted Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi at the White House for bilateral meetings and a formal dinner, according to White House videos and Fox 10 Phoenix reports. The leaders discussed strengthening the United States-Japan alliance amid global security challenges, including the ongoing war with Iran, as detailed in DWS News coverage. President Trump praised the prime minister and highlighted Japan's support, while Takaichi emphasized preventing Iran's nuclear weapon development. The White House fact sheet confirms this bolsters ties for all Americans. They also noted Japan gifting 250 cherry trees to Washington for the nation's 250th anniversary, symbolizing enduring friendship.

On the Iran front, Reuters reports President Trump is considering deploying thousands more troops to the Middle East as the conflict enters its third week. In a Pentagon briefing yesterday, Secretary Hegseth and General Caine updated on operations, stating United States forces have struck over 7,000 targets, including missiles, launchers, and Iran's defense industrial base. They honored six fallen heroes returned from Dover Air Force Base alongside the president and affirmed operations remain on track to destroy threats without a set timeline, per the briefing transcript.

No new White House live events are scheduled yet today, but stay tuned via whitehouse.gov/live.
