The President's Daily Brief

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

Ships are expected to begin moving through the Strait of Hormuz once again, but the world's most important energy corridor remains far from normal. We'll examine why the recovery of global oil markets and energy supply chains could take months—or even longer.

European officials are accusing China of training Russian troops for combat in Ukraine, a claim Beijing is strongly denying. We'll break down the allegations, the evidence behind them, and what they could mean for already strained China-Europe relations.

Federal authorities say they disrupted an alleged plot targeting the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House. Multiple suspects are in custody after reportedly discussing plans involving drones and a gunman. We'll have the latest details from the investigation.

In today's Back of the Brief—intelligence agencies are finding a new way to gather information on potential targets: buying it. We'll explain how governments are increasingly purchasing vast amounts of consumer data from private companies and what that means for privacy and national security.

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:

First up—during Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the United States reportedly relied on a secretive maritime network to keep Gulf oil flowing. We'll examine the remarkable Reuters investigation that claims Washington borrowed tactics from Tehran's own sanctions-evasion playbook—and how the operation may have helped avert a global energy crisis.

Later in the show—tragedy strikes at a California air base as a B-52 bomber crashes shortly after takeoff, killing all eight crew members on board. We'll bring you the latest details on the crash and what investigators are focusing on as they search for the cause.
