December 17th, 2025: A Major Power Shift Is Coming To The U.S. Military & Putin Says No Deal

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: New reporting reveals senior defense officials are preparing a major reorganization that would downgrade key military headquarters and redraw the balance of power among America’s top generals, signaling a broader rethink of how the U.S. military is led and deployed around the world. Just as we predicted, Vladimir Putin is once again digging in, rejecting any compromise on occupied Ukrainian territory as diplomatic efforts stall and Moscow reinforces its hardline position. A national security court convicts pro-democracy figure Jimmy Lai, underscoring the Chinese Communist Party’s consolidation of power in the territory, even as President Trump urges clemency. And in today’s Back of the Brief: President Trump signs an executive order declaring illicit fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction, citing the drug’s growing threat to U.S. national security.
