It's Tuesday, the 22nd of April. Welcome to the President's Daily Brief. I'm Mike Baker, your eyes and ears on the world stage. Alright, let's get briefed. We'll start things off today with China. And it seems that the Chinese regime, for whatever reason, is a bit testy. Beijing just sanctioned multiple members of Congress and top US officials...
in a new tit-for-tat move over what it's calling, quote, egregious behavior on Hong Kong-related issues. Hmm, we'll have those details. Later in the show, Hamas steps up efforts to refill its depleted ranks, reportedly recruiting some 30,000 youths into its militant wing, including untrained miners. Plus, in what appears to be a last-ditch effort to end the war,
The Trump administration has presented Ukraine with a confidential peace deal that would recognize Crimea as Russian, give Russia essentially the land they currently occupy inside Ukraine and block NATO membership. In exchange, Ukraine gets, uh, well, that's not really clear.
And in today's back of the brief, as a second signal scandal surrounding Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth grows, President Trump steps in to defend him. Aber zuerst, heute's PDB-Spotlight. Wir beginnen mit einem Update auf die US-China-Verhältnisse, die in den Träumen von Präsident Trumps Terrorwahl gegen das Kommunistische Regime weiterhin zerstört sind.
Und in ihrer neuesten diplomatischen Vertretung haben die Bezirke in Beijing am Montag Sanktionen gegen einige US-Kongressmitglieder, Regierungsbeamte und Leiter von amerikanischen non-regionalen Organisationen, NGOs, geimpft. Obwohl sie nicht genau spezifizieren, wer sie targetieren. Diesmal zählt China's Anger auf das, was sie genannt haben, quote, egregious behavior on Hong Kong-related issues.
Das ist, wie ein Bericht von der Associated Press. The action followed sanctions imposed by the US in March on six Chinese and Hong Kong officials over their alleged involvement in what the Trump administration described as quote, transnational repression and other activity that threatens to further erode the city's autonomy. Well, here's a hint. Hong Kong doesn't have any autonomy.
A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry said, quote, China has decided to impose sanctions on US congressmen, officials and NGO leaders who have performed poorly, oh, on Hong Kong-related issues. The spokesman added, quote, any wrong action taken by the US side on the Hong Kong-related issue will be met with resolute and reciprocal counteraction by the Chinese side, end quote.
