Summary

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Biden’s $320 million boondoggle: the floating pier on the shore of the Gaza Strip, intended to provide a lifeline to Palestinian civilians, continues to struggle. The structure has been damaged by choppy waters, and there are reports that it may even be sinking. North Korea has made yet another failed attempt to put a spy satellite into orbit—another setback for the military ambitions of the nation’s leader, Kim Jong Un. A bipartisan group of US lawmakers visited Taiwan this week to assure the new government there that US weapons are on their way, despite warnings from Beijing. In today’s Back of the Brief, the Parliament of Georgia overrides a presidential veto on controversial legislation that could torpedo the nation’s candidacy for the European Union and bring it closer to Moscow.
