December 2nd, 2025: Ukraine Strikes Russia’s Shadow Fleet & A Potential War Crime Probe

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

• Ukraine strikes at the financial core of Russia’s war machine, using naval drones to hit two shadow-fleet tankers that move Moscow’s illicit oil across global markets.

  
  

• A potential scandal emerges in the administration’s counter-narcotics campaign as reports indicate U.S. forces carried out a second strike on a suspected drug boat after survivors fled the initial attack.

  
  

• President Trump’s negotiating team heads to Moscow following what he calls “very productive” talks with Ukrainian officials, with key details still unresolved.

  
  

• And in today’s Back of the Brief— F-16s scramble over Palm Beach to intercept a civilian aircraft that violated the restricted airspace around Mar-a-Lago.
