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.
