It\u2019s August 17th. You\u2019re listening to the President\u2019s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now.\n------\nWelcome to a special edition of the PDB this morning: a Big Five Update. Five critical updates on stories we\u2019ve covered previously that are shaping America \u2014 and the world.\n\nFirst, Joe Biden signed the climate change bill yesterday, but there\u2019s a problem already with solar panels and slave labor. We\u2019ll discuss.\n\nSecond, electricity prices hit a record high in Europe yesterday, and some businesses there are starting to shut down. I\u2019ll explain the latest.\n\nThird, the Biden Administration has increased its aid to Ukraine, this time to help them pay down their national deficit. I\u2019ve got those details.\n\nFourth, America\u2019s tariffs on Chinese products are likely to stay put, all because of Nancy Pelosi\u2019s visit to Taiwan. I\u2019ll explain the connection.\n\nFinally, a man robbed a bank in Lebanon last week to get his own money. We\u2019ll talk about how this curious crime illustrates how desperate things are in that Middle Eastern country.\n\nAnd finally, one last thing before I let you go. A question from Brandon and Rafeal on how to persuade in-laws when talking politics. Oh this\u2019ll be fun.\n\n------\nPlease remember to subscribe if you enjoyed this episode of the President's Daily Brief.\nEmail: PDB@TheFirstTV.com\nLearn more about your ad choices.
