Show Notes
In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief:
- The U.S. military has ramped up surveillance of Mexican drug cartels, with nearly 20 spy plane flights in the past two weeks. Is this just intelligence-gathering for Mexico’s military, or is something bigger in the works?
- President Trump reignites a trade battle from his first term, announcing plans to impose a 25% tariff on aluminum and steel imports.
- As the ceasefire in Gaza faces new obstacles, the IDF targets Hezbollah sites in Lebanon, raising tensions along its northern border.
- And in The Back of the Brief, President Trump escalates his crackdown on former officials, revoking security clearances for key members of the previous administration—and signaling that more could be on the way.
