It's Tuesday, 25 February. Welcome to the President's Daily Brief. I'm Mike Baker, your eyes and ears on the world stage. And apparently back on the road again. So I apologize for the constant shifting of the backdrop. I'm not sure whether that's considered professional or unprofessional, but it's the way that it is.
Coming to you today from, oh look, another airport lounge somewhere in the continental United States. Das sind alle die Hinweise, die ich euch gebe. Okay, lasst uns kurz sprechen.
