February 14th, 2025: European Leaders Chastise Trump Over Putin Call & White House Unveils Plans For Reciprocal Tariffs On US Allies

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:     We'll start things off in Europe, where leaders are criticizing the Trump administration following the president’s recent call with Vladimir Putin seeking a negotiated settlement to the war in Ukraine. Later in the show, President Donald Trump ups the pressure on U.S. allies by announcing his plans for widespread "reciprocal tariffs" on American trading partners. Plus, in an apparent effort to thaw relations with the West, Belarus’s autocratic president and Kremlin ally releases an American prisoner and two others from jail. In our 'Back of the Brief' segment, Israel has uncovered a plot by Iran to smuggle cash to Hezbollah militants via Beirut’s international airport in an attempt to help the terror group rebuild its military operations.
