The President's Daily Brief

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:


Western intelligence officials say Russia’s shadow war inside Europe may be entering a new phase, with former Wagner recruitment networks allegedly helping coordinate sabotage operations across NATO states — and in some cases, the recruits aren’t trained operatives. They’re teenagers. We break down what this shift could mean for Europe’s security landscape.


Talks resume in Geneva as Iran floats potential energy and aviation deals alongside a renewed nuclear agreement with the United States. We’ll explain what Tehran appears to want — and what Washington may demand in return.

Plus, Ukraine’s former energy minister has been detained after allegedly attempting to flee the country, as a sweeping corruption probe reaches into the upper ranks of government.




In today’s Back of the Brief — a bipartisan funding deal collapses over immigration policy, triggering a partial government shutdown that directly impacts the Department of Homeland Security and reignites tensions over border enforcement.

In this episode of The PDB Situation Report:


First up — The United States continues ramping up pressure on Iran, but some analysts argue the real strategic target may be China. We speak with Joshua Philipp about how Tehran fits into Beijing’s broader geopolitical ambitions, and why moves in the Middle East could be part of a much larger contest with the Chinese Communist Party.


Later in the show — The Trump administration announces it is ending Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota after more than four thousand immigration arrests. Art Arthur of the Center for Immigration Studies joins us to break down what the operation accomplished, why it is winding down now, and what it means for immigration enforcement moving forward.
