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

The President's Daily Brief

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.
