It’s September 29th. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now. ------ We’ve got a Special Edition of the PDB today. Some important news in the Battle for the Pacific — which is our long-running series on whether China or the United States will win the battle for influence amongst the many island nations of the North and South Pacific. I’m doing this Special because the leaders of 14 of those island nations are in DC this morning, wrapping up a two day summit with Joe Biden and other Administration officials. So today we are going to take a trip to the Pacific and we’re going to explore where America is winning where we’re losing and what we can do to strengthen our position in case war ever comes. And, as always, I’ll respond to a listener question. Today it’s about how close we might be to a nuclear war with Russia. ------ Please remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.
