In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief: First up—the Houthis strike the headquarters of Saudi Arabia’s state-owned oil giant Aramco, as Riyadh presses ahead with a major offensive in Yemen. After more than a decade of fighting, we examine why the Houthis have proven so difficult to defeat and whether Saudi Arabia’s expanding military partnerships could finally change the equation. Later in the show—Ukraine reports unexpected restrictions on SpaceX’s military satellite network that are disrupting battlefield operations, as Russia continues attacking the country’s energy infrastructure.
