It’s April 18th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. I’m your host and former CIA Officer Bryan Dean Wright. Your morning intel starts now.

First up, there are Chinese companies shutting down because of a COVID outbreak that will affect our economy and your wallet.

Second, President Zelensky wants an additional $50 billion from the United States for aid.

Finally, we're going to talk about sacrifice. Joe Biden has asked you and your family for it. As we weathered the dual storms of inflation and Ukraine price hikes, we're going to talk about whether Biden himself is willing to sacrifice.

And as always, I'm keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put this one on your radar. There's a growing hepatitis outbreak amongst kids in the U S. COVID is playing a role, but not in the way you might expect.
