Summary

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: First—President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and a coalition of European leaders struck an optimistic note about the prospects of ending Russia’s war on Ukraine during an unprecedented gathering at the White House on Monday. Later in the show—Hungary lashes out at Kyiv, accusing Ukraine of mounting what they called an "outrageous and unacceptable" attack that disabled a Russian oil pipeline supplying the NATO ally. Plus—a growing number of Palestinians are reportedly turning on Hamas and preparing for a future without the terror group in power. But as the discontent spreads, Hamas is striking back with brutal violence against their own civilians, executing critics wherever they find them. In our 'Back of the Brief—the bromance between Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un deepens, as the Russian strongman sends a personal letter to Kim heaping praise on what he called the "heroic" efforts of North Korean troops fighting in Ukraine. The two belligerent powers have vowed to expand their military ties to forge a "just and multi-polar world order."
