Summary

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: President Trump says the Houthis have “capitulated” and will halt attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea—but is the danger really gone? Ukrainian drones strike deep into Russian territory, forcing all four of Moscow’s major airports to suspend operations just days before Victory Day. A surprise move from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth halts multiple U.S. weapons shipments to Ukraine, blindsiding the White House in the early days of Trump’s second term. And in today’s Back of the Brief—a close call over Damascus, as Israeli and Turkish fighter jets narrowly avoid a dangerous confrontation in Syrian airspace.
