YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

- The battle for the Strait of Hormuz is entering a dangerous new chapter. We examine why the Trump administration has once again shifted its strategy against Iran—and what that tells us about where the war is headed.

- The remnants of Russia's Wagner mercenary force have reportedly traded the battlefield for the drug trade. We look at allegations that former Wagner fighters are operating a growing opioid empire in one of Africa's most lawless regions.

- The Trump administration launches a new campaign against the International Criminal Court, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio vowing to curb the tribunal's influence and shield Americans from its jurisdiction.

- In today's Back of the Brief, Congress moves to honor the late Senator Lindsey Graham by reviving one of his signature priorities: a sweeping new package of sanctions targeting Russia.
