Trump Sends World’s Largest Warship Toward Iran

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:

- First—President Trump is sending the largest warship in the world toward Iran. The USS Gerald R. Ford will join another carrier already operating in the region as nuclear negotiations remain unresolved. We’ll break down what the deployment signals, and what it could mean if talks collapse.

- Later in the show—The CIA is making a rare public move, releasing a recruitment video designed to turn disaffected officers inside China’s military into potential informants. The campaign comes as Xi Jinping’s sweeping purge exposes instability within the PLA’s leadership. I’ll have the details.
