In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: 

• We’ll start things off with the global reaction to President Trump's surprise tariff pause, as the EU reverses course on economic retaliation, the White House inches closer to signing new trade agreements with more than a dozen countries, and an irate China vows to "fight to the end."

• Later in the show, ahead of nuclear talks between the U.S. and Iran this weekend, President Trump is warning that he has a deadline in mind for reaching a potential agreement, and that Israel will lead strikes against the mullahs if they refuse to bend on the nuclear issue. 

• Plus, amid mounting tensions over the situation in Syria, Israel and Turkey are holding "technical talks" aimed at preventing conflict between their troops.

• In our 'Back of the Brief—In a move that risks antagonizing Israel, French President Emmanuel Macron said Wednesday that France may officially move to recognize a Palestinian state as early as June.
