July 28th, 2026: Ukraine Launches Strike On Iranian Ship

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

• Ukraine launches a dramatic long-range strike on an Iranian-linked vessel in the Caspian Sea, bringing the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East closer together than ever before. I'll explain why the strike could mark a dangerous new phase in both conflicts.

• A new DEA assessment raises difficult questions about the Trump administration's military campaign against drug traffickers, finding that dozens of deadly maritime strikes have done little to reduce the flow of cocaine into the United States.

• Kim Jong Un quietly expands North Korea's global espionage capabilities with major investments in cyber warfare, intelligence operations, and covert activities targeting America's allies.

• In today's Back of the Brief, massive wildfires force hundreds of thousands of people from their homes across France and Spain as Europe confronts one of its worst fire emergencies in years.
