The President's Daily Brief

June 19th, 2024: Iran’s Nuclear Countdown, South China Sea Collision, & Putin in Pyongyang

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:
We examine an alarming new report about Iran’s nuclear program, which suggests that the Islamic republic has a much shorter runway to a bomb than previously believed.

We’ll turn to the South China Sea, where a recent collision between Chinese and Philippine vessels is escalating tensions between the two nations and testing America’s support for its ally.

The latest developments from Vladimir Putin’s trip to Pyongyang amid ongoing North Korean aggression at its border with South Korea.

In the Back of the Brief, Russia’s nuclear-powered submarine Kazan is on its way home after several days of military drills off the US coast. Its brief visit to the western hemisphere was capped off by some embarrassing photos showing the vessel has fallen into disrepair.
