Intro

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

• President Trump says the Houthis have “capitulated” and will halt attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea—but is the danger really gone?

• Ukrainian drones strike deep into Russian territory, forcing all four of Moscow’s major airports to suspend operations just days before Victory Day.

• A surprise move from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth halts multiple U.S. weapons shipments to Ukraine, blindsiding the White House in the early days of Trump’s second term.

• And in today’s Back of the Brief—a close call over Damascus, as Israeli and Turkish fighter jets narrowly avoid a dangerous confrontation in Syrian airspace.
