In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: First up—President Trump drops the hammer on Cuba, taking direct aim at the regime by moving to choke off its oil lifeline and escalate economic pressure on Havana. Later in the show—behind-the-scenes diplomacy may be picking up between Washington and Tehran, as mediators work to arrange a possible meeting in Ankara. Plus, a deadly wave of attacks in Pakistan sparks a sweeping security crackdown, with 145 militants killed over two days of fighting and new concerns emerging over the fragile peace with India. And in today’s Back of the Brief—we follow up on a story we brought you last week, as SpaceX says it has successfully shut down Russian forces’ use of stolen Starlink terminals on the battlefield in Ukraine.
