In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Three Indian sailors are dead after U.S. forces struck a commercial tanker in the Gulf of Oman, marking the first reported fatalities tied to Washington's blockade of Iran. We'll explain what happened, why India is demanding answers, and how the incident could complicate one of America's most important strategic relationships. Ukraine may have found a cheaper way to defend its skies. We'll look at a new homegrown interceptor missile that costs less than a quarter of a Patriot round and could help Kyiv counter Russian missile attacks at a fraction of the cost. Five months after the fall of Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela is rapidly dismantling the symbols of his rule. We'll examine how the former dictator is being erased from public life and what it says about the country's post-Maduro future. In today's Back of the Brief, the House rejects a last-minute effort to extend a controversial surveillance authority, putting the future of a key U.S. intelligence tool in doubt.  To listen to the show ad-free, become a premium member of The President’s Daily Brief by visiting https://PDBPremium.com.
