August 22nd, 2022. The Hard Truth About Ukraine's Main Nuclear Plant. Chinese Coal Usage Continues to Rise. Coffee Crops are Plummeting.

It’s August 22nd. You’re listening to the President’s Daily Brief. Your morning intel starts now.

First, there are lots of stories and rumors about Ukraine’s main nuclear power plant this morning. It’s not Chernobyl but a placed called Zaporizhzhia. I’m going to explain exactly what’s going on, the threats, and whether or not you should be worried.

As always, I’m keeping an eye out for developing stories. Put these two on your radar.

First, Joe Biden is kicking off a national tour this week, highlighting his new climate change bill. But a new rail line for coal shipments in China suggests that this celebration might be misplaced.

Second, Mother Nature is wrecking havoc on all sorts of crops this year. Unfortunately, we can add a personal favorite of mine to the list: coffee. That’s coming up.

And finally, the last thing before I let you go. Question from Angela in Franklin, North Carolina about that very unusual bank robbery in the country of Lebanon that I shared with you last week.
