The President's Daily Brief

In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief:

First—NATO's eastern members are quietly preparing for what they fear could be Russia's next move. Intelligence shared with Reuters suggests the Kremlin may be considering a false flag attack designed not simply to damage critical infrastructure, but to sow confusion and division inside the NATO alliance.

Later in the show—Ukraine finally gets an answer from tech billionaire Elon Musk on whether it can use Starlink to help strike Russian targets, and President Trump agrees to keep Patriot missiles flowing to Kyiv, but there still aren't enough to meet Ukraine's demands.

Plus—another South American country is lining up behind President Trump's fight against narco-terrorism. Colombia's new conservative president is promising a sweeping drug crackdown, and Washington is putting serious money behind him.

And in today’s Back of the Brief—Kim Jong Un's hackers are adding artificial intelligence to their cyber arsenal. We'll break down a new South Korean report revealing how North Korea is using AI to automate its attacks and make its malicious bait even more convincing.

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:

First—Washington is quietly rethinking one of its core assumptions about the war in Ukraine. U.S. intelligence now reportedly believes Vladimir Putin may be willing to challenge NATO directly through a limited military or hybrid attack designed to probe Western resolve. If they're right, it could mark one of the most dangerous shifts in the war since Russia's full-scale invasion.

Later in the show—Russian officials now believe last weekend's deadly restaurant bombing in Moscow was aimed at one of Vladimir Putin's top generals. We'll examine the emerging evidence, the suspected Ukrainian connection, and why Russia's senior military leadership appears increasingly vulnerable—even in the heart of the Russian capital.
