Summary

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: First up — the United States is sending more firepower to the Middle East, with a Marine Expeditionary Unit now heading to the region. I’ll explain what capabilities that powerful rapid-response force brings to the fight and why the Pentagon believes it may soon be needed. Later in the show — protests erupt in Cuba as demonstrators attack a Communist Party office amid growing frustration over widespread blackouts and deteriorating living conditions on the island. Plus — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversees a live-fire exercise featuring tactical nuclear rocket launchers capable of striking targets across the region. And in today’s Back of the Brief — Chinese military aircraft return to the skies around Taiwan after an unusual two-week absence that had raised new questions about Beijing’s intentions.
