Mike Baker

It's Monday, the 19th of January.

Welcome to the President's Daily Brief.

I'm Mike Baker, your eyes and ears on the world stage.

All right, let's get briefed.

First up, major U.S.

military moves are now underway in the Middle East, with bombers, carriers, and missile systems being deployed amid rising tensions with Iran.

I'll have the details.

Later in the show, the U.S.

launches a third retaliatory strike in Syria, taking out a militant leader tied to an ISIS ambush that killed three Americans last month.

Plus, new documents reveal that Venezuela's interim leader, Delcy Rodriguez, has been monitored by U.S.

drug agents for years, highlighting her central role in the regime's alleged criminal networks.

And in today's back of the brief, President Trump announces escalating tariffs on Denmark and other European nations as he pushes for a deal to acquire Greenland.

But first, today's PDB Spotlight.

The U.S.

is repositioning military assets across the Middle East.

Over the past 48 hours, reporting indicates that U.S.

strategic bombers have landed at Diego Garcia, the joint U.S.-U.K.

base in the Indian Ocean.

Now, Diego Garcia isn't just another airstrip.

It has the lengthy runways designed to support heavy strategic aircraft, including B-2-class bombers.
