from Glenn van Zutphen on Saturday Mornings with Neil Humphreys · host MONEY FM 89.3
This week Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Steve Okun, CEO of APAC Advisors to unpack four stories making waves across the globe. We begin in Washington, where U.S. Defense Chief Pete Hegseth’s remarks about ordering a second strike on a Caribbean vessel have reignited debates on military conduct and accountability. Next to Taipei, where the U.S. wants its workers to be trained for chip-making jobs... raising questions about economic cooperation, labour shortages, and geopolitical ties. Closer to home, newly appointed U.S. Ambassador to Singapore, Dr. Anjani Sinha, has spoken about “building” Singapore’s role in America’s trade and investment strategy. Steve explores what this means for bilateral relations and regional stability. Finally, we look at FIFA’s controversial decision to award its first-ever Peace Prize to President Donald Trump, a move that has sparked global backlash and raised eyebrows about the intersection of sport, politics, and diplomacy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
