Summary

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: President Trump’s tariff strategy appears to be yielding results, with Japan, Indonesia, and others signaling trade deals that could open up massive markets to American exports. Russia’s so-called Easter ceasefire proved hollow, as its military continued launching attacks across Ukraine despite Putin’s pledge. A suspected terrorist long wanted by India has been arrested on American soil—a big development in the growing counterterrorism partnership between Washington and New Delhi. And in today’s Back of the Brief: The Pentagon confirms a substantial drawdown of U.S. troops from Syria, following reports we first brought you last week.

0:15.3	you'll really like our podcast, Politics by Faith. We take the main story of the day and we run it
0:20.2	through the Bible.

1:51.9	he's not coming to the negotiating table. Plus, an accused terrorist wanted by India has been captured on U.S. soil, marking a major win for New Delhi and a notable moment in U.S. India
