February 11th, 2026: Trump Threatens Iran With Second Carrier & U.S. Boards Another Russian Tanker

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: First up—new details are emerging on what Iran is actually offering in nuclear talks with the United States, and it’s a far narrower proposal than it first appeared, even as President Trump threatens to deploy a second aircraft carrier strike group if negotiations stall. Later in the show—the United States continues to take aim at Russia’s shadow fleet, boarding a sanctioned oil tanker in the Indian Ocean as Washington ramps up enforcement of sanctions. Plus—China issues fresh warnings to Taiwan, reaffirming its support for so-called “reunification forces” and vowing to crack down on what Beijing calls separatists. And in today’s Back of the Brief—Washington edges closer to another partial government shutdown as lawmakers remain deadlocked over funding for the Department of Homeland Security.
