Saturday Mornings: International News Review: "From Greenland to Palm Oil, to Do's and ont's around the world to

This week, Steve Okun, CEO of APAC Advisors, joins Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys in studio to unpack a diverse set of international stories shaping headlines. We begin with the latest Denmark–Greenland talks, where U.S. interest in the Arctic has reignited debates over sovereignty and strategic influence. Steve explains why Greenland’s position matters geopolitically and how small states navigate such pressures. We then turn to diplomatic etiquette, with reminders about what embassies should—and should not—do abroad. This leads into a discussion of the U.S. Embassy in Singapore’s call for sponsorships for its Fourth of July celebrations, a practice common across embassies and high commissions worldwide, though often misunderstood by the public. Finally, we lighten the mood with a quirky kicker from Malaysia. After the U.S. Embassy in Kuala Lumpur shared a satellite image highlighting oil reserves, Malaysians took to social media with humor, joking that their country has “no oil, only palm oil.” It’s a reminder that even serious geopolitical conversations can spark moments of levity and possible concern behind the laughs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
