May 12th, 2025: The ‘Alarming Intel’ That Forced the India-Pakistan Ceasefire & A ‘Total Reset’ In China?

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:   A fragile ceasefire between India and Pakistan is holding after the deadliest fighting in decades. U.S. officials reportedly acted on alarming intelligence, sparking a last-minute diplomatic push led by Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.   President Trump says a “total reset” has been negotiated with China after high-level trade talks in Geneva. But questions remain over what was actually agreed to—and whether China sees it the same way.   Vladimir Putin calls for direct peace talks with Ukraine. President Zelensky says he’s open to it, but only if Russia agrees to a full ceasefire.   And in today’s Back of the Brief—President Trump lands in Riyadh to begin a week of high-stakes diplomacy across the Gulf, including stops in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.   To listen to the show ad-free, become a premium member of The President’s Daily Brief by visiting PDBPremium.com.
