In this episode of The President's Daily Brief

  

  • First, we'll have a preview of the domestic challenges facing Russian strongman Vladimir Putin in 2025, namely Russia’s floundering economy, which is teetering on the brink as the Kremlin continues to pour resources into their war on Ukraine.


  • Later in the show, we’ll unpack Chinese President Xi Jinping’s annual New Year's address, in which he attempted to shore up confidence regarding Beijing’s struggling economy, while warning that no one can stop China's "reunification" with Taiwan. 


  • Plus, an update on the violent Tren de Aragua gang, as the group escalates attacks on U.S. border crossings in Texas in an effort to embed more members in the US before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.


  • In our 'Back of the Brief' segment, Israeli spies who infiltrated deep into Hezbollah’s terror network over the past year reveal some intimate details regarding the group’s former leaders, including a top commander's plans to marry his four mistresses.
