In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:
First up—a new report offers an inside look at the White House’s efforts to engineer regime change in Cuba, as U.S. officials—emboldened by events in Venezuela—search for Cuban power brokers willing to cut a deal and bring an end to Communist rule.
Later in the show—President Trump meets with Ukrainian President Zelenskiy in Davos, with Kyiv saying security guarantees are settled, but the most critical issue of all—territory—remains unresolved.
Plus—the war against Russia’s shadow fleet is expanding, as France’s navy intercepts an oil tanker in the Mediterranean linked to Moscow’s covert sanctions-busting network.
And in today’s Back of the Brief—a sobering case out of Iran, where a young soldier has been sentenced to death for refusing orders to fire on protesters during nationwide unrest.
