In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:
• First up—is Belarus preparing to invade Ukraine? As Kyiv issues new warnings and tensions rise along the border, we'll separate the facts from the speculation and explain what's really happening inside Russia's closest ally.
• Later in the show—Iran is already receiving economic benefits from its agreement with Washington. We'll examine what's being offered, what sanctions relief could look like, and what the United States has yet to secure in return.
• Plus—Taiwan's military is preparing for the possibility of conflict with China, launching a major combat readiness exercise designed to test how quickly its forces can transition to a wartime footing.
• In today's Back of the Brief—how does Vladimir Putin know what Russians really think? According to a new report, the answer may involve secret polling, social media surveillance, and regular briefings delivered straight to the Kremlin.
