Global News Catch-Up: Iran, Venezuela, the US, Greenland, Somalia, Israel, Palestine, and Italy
While the headlines have been dominated by a few major stories, a lot is happening across the world - and in this episode, we dive into it all. From near-total internet blackouts in Iran amid economic crisis and mass protests, to major shifts in US foreign policy under the Trump administration, we cover key developments you might’ve missed. We also touch on worsening US-Somalia relations, humanitarian updates from Gaza/Palestine, oil deals and political prisoners in Venezuela, Italy’s potential electoral overhaul, and the unexpected return of Greenland to the geopolitical conversation. You might know me from my educational political content on world news and international politics across social media platforms and Substack (LeoExplains / Leo Explains). Hosted on Acast.
