Summary

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:     We'll begin with the latest threats from Russian strongman Vladimir Putin, who is warning European leaders against sabotaging potential rapprochement between Moscow and Washington. His remarks come as Russian and U.S. diplomats held their second round of direct talks in Istanbul on Thursday, and as British Prime Minister Keir Starmer met with President Trump at the White House regarding the war in Ukraine. Later in the show, the jailed leader of the militant Kurdistan Workers Party has called on his forces to disarm and disband, potentially signaling an end to its bloody 40-year conflict with Turkey's leaders. Plus, the Israeli military releases the findings of a major investigation into Hamas’s barbaric 7 October attack, acknowledging that the IDF underestimated the terror group and failed to properly protect their border. In our 'Back of the Brief' segment, President Donald Trump vows to move forward with crippling sanctions on Canada and Mexico next week, claiming our northern and southern neighbors are not doing enough to stem the flow of drugs into the US.
