Episode Details

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

• We begin in Syria, where the nation struggles to return to normalcy as Iran largely withdraws—marking a major setback for Tehran’s regional ambitions.

• Later, trouble for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, whose approval ratings have plummeted to their lowest point since the Russian invasion began, fueling growing doubts among Ukrainians.

• Plus, the latest from South Korea, where rival government forces face off outside the presidential compound as impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol remains inside—refusing to comply with detention and search warrants.

• And finally, in today’s Back of the Brief, a new UN report reveals a sharp rise in executions in Iran last year, including about 40 in just one week in December.
