    May 15th, 2026: Ukraine May Be Turning The Tide Against Russia & Trump Meets Xi
    May 15 2026
    In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: After months of grinding Russian advances, Ukraine may finally be starting to shift the momentum on the battlefield, thanks to a major change in how Kyiv is using its growing drone arsenal. New reports suggest Ukrainian mid-range drone strikes are increasingly targeting the logistics, fuel routes, and supply networks keeping Russia’s offensives alive. President Trump wraps up his high-stakes visit to Beijing and heads back to Washington. We’ll break down the latest developments from his meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping, including renewed tensions over Taiwan and efforts to stabilize relations between the world’s two largest powers. Cuba says it has effectively run out of oil and diesel, as worsening fuel shortages and rolling blackouts push the island deeper into crisis. Officials are warning the situation has reached a critical point amid growing economic instability and public frustration. And in today’s Back of the Brief—with the Strait of Hormuz largely paralyzed, Gulf states are turning to enormous overland truck convoys as an emergency economic lifeline, reviving desert trade routes to keep global commerce moving.
