The President's Daily Brief

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

First up— two U.S. servicemembers are killed in an Iranian missile strike on an American base in Jordan. We'll explain why the attack may mark a major turning point in the conflict, as new reports indicate the Trump administration is preparing for a dramatic expansion of military operations against Tehran.

Later in the show— Russia and Ukraine continue exchanging punishing attacks as Moscow launches another wave of deadly strikes, underscoring the grinding intensity of the war.

Plus— Turkey is reportedly considering giving up its Russian-made S-400 air defense system in hopes of convincing Washington to allow Ankara back into the F-35 fighter jet program.

And in today's Back of the Brief— New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani says he's still deciding whether he would seek the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits the United Nations General Assembly this September.

Later in the show—President Trump is putting China at the center of the debate over the 2020 election, releasing a trove of newly declassified intelligence documents that the White House says point to Chinese election interference. We'll break down the allegations, the newly released documents, and Beijing's response.
