The President's Daily Brief

August 15th, 2024: Kyiv’s Deep Strikes in Russia, Japan’s PM Resigns, & Iran’s Cyber Crisis

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

We start with the latest developments on the war in Ukraine as Kyiv’s forces launch major strikes against military airfields 500 miles deep into Russian territory.

Then, we turn to the Far East, where one of America’s key allies, Japan, is facing a major political shakeup. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has announced his resignation following a series of political scandals.

Plus, Iran has been hit with a major cyber-attack targeting the nation’s central bank, leading to widespread disruptions and paralyzing the Islamic Republic’s financial system.

In today's Back of the Brief, I’ll take a look at an event none of us likely had on our 2024 bingo cards—the return of the Monkeypox virus.
