Summary

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Reports emerge of a fiery clash between President Trump and Denmark’s Prime Minister over Greenland, with Denmark in crisis mode as the President pushes hard for U.S. control of the Arctic island. The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas continues to hold, as President Trump pressures Jordan and Egypt to accept more Palestinian refugees and floats a plan to, quote, "clean out" Gaza. Secretary of State Marco Rubio takes office and announces a pause on nearly all foreign aid—making exceptions only for emergency funding to Israel and Egypt. And in today’s Back of the Brief: After five years, the CIA shifts its position on the origins of COVID-19, now supporting the lab leak theory as the most plausible explanation.
