Summary

In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief: Three U.S. B-52 bombers were spotted flying just off Venezuela’s coast. Washington calls it a routine patrol, but the timing—and the bombers’ cheeky call signs—suggest a not-so-subtle message to Nicolás Maduro. Israel warns the Trump administration that the Gaza ceasefire deal could stall unless Hamas returns the bodies of Israeli hostages. Ahead of today’s meeting between Presidents Trump and Zelensky, Russia launches one of its largest overnight assaults in months—firing hundreds of drones and missiles across Ukraine. And in today’s Back of the Brief—AI has officially entered the war room. A top U.S. general admits he’s using ChatGPT to help refine military strategy.
