Summary

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: First up, the trade war is now escalating worldwide, as Canada hits the U.S. with a 25 percent reciprocal tariff on steel and aluminum products, while the European Union vows to raise tariffs on up to $28 billion worth of U.S. goods. Later in the show, the Kremlin has issued their first response to a U.S. proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, saying they are awaiting details from the Trump administration, while stressing that their territorial gains must be addressed as part of any deal. Plus, the captain of a cargo ship involved in a catastrophic collision with a US-flagged tanker in the North Sea has been arrested by British authorities. A criminal investigation has been opened, and the captain, a Russian national, is being probed for manslaughter over the deadly incident.
