In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief:

First—NATO's eastern members are quietly preparing for what they fear could be Russia's next move. Intelligence shared with Reuters suggests the Kremlin may be considering a false flag attack designed not simply to damage critical infrastructure, but to sow confusion and division inside the NATO alliance.

Later in the show—Ukraine finally gets an answer from tech billionaire Elon Musk on whether it can use Starlink to help strike Russian targets, and President Trump agrees to keep Patriot missiles flowing to Kyiv, but there still aren't enough to meet Ukraine's demands.

Plus—another South American country is lining up behind President Trump's fight against narco-terrorism. Colombia's new conservative president is promising a sweeping drug crackdown, and Washington is putting serious money behind him.

And in today’s Back of the Brief—Kim Jong Un's hackers are adding artificial intelligence to their cyber arsenal. We'll break down a new South Korean report revealing how North Korea is using AI to automate its attacks and make its malicious bait even more convincing.
