May 13th, 2026: Iranian Commandos Captured In Kuwait & Ukraine’s New Drone Alliance

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

• Iran is accused of sending IRGC commandos onto Kuwaiti territory during the fragile Gulf ceasefire, raising fears the region’s shadow war is still escalating behind the scenes.

• The war with Iran is reportedly accelerating U.S.-Ukraine defense cooperation, with Washington and Kyiv now pursuing a landmark drone and air defense agreement as modern warfare rapidly evolves.

• Frustrations between Kyiv and the Trump administration appear to be boiling over, as President Volodymyr Zelensky increasingly distances Ukraine from what was once its most important ally.

• And in today’s Back of the Brief — North Korea’s support for Russia’s war effort is reportedly fueling the country’s biggest economic growth surge in nearly a decade, as Pyongyang earns billions supplying troops, missiles, and ammunition to Moscow.
