April 1st, 2026: Trump Reveals Who He’s Talking To In Iran & Russia’s Oil Crisis

In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief: New reporting reveals who the White House has been secretly engaging with in Iran, as President Trump confirms contact with a powerful regime insider—raising serious questions about whether he’s a credible partner… or just another problem. Russia’s expected oil windfall from the Iran conflict takes a major hit, as Ukrainian drone strikes cripple key export infrastructure and threaten a critical revenue stream for Moscow. The Kremlin tightens control at home, moving to isolate Russia from the global internet—potentially cutting millions off from outside information and communication. And in today’s Back of the Brief—Ukraine expands its reach into the Middle East, striking new defense deals with Gulf nations that could play a key role in reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
