Episode Synopsis

  This week on International News Review, Steve Okun, CEO of APAC Advisors, join “Saturday Mornings Show” with host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys in studio to unpack a whirlwind of global developments. From Xi Jinping and Kim Jong Un pledging deeper ties after viewing the Chinese military parade with Putin, to President Trump’s controversial strike on a suspected Venezuelan drug boat killing 11 on board—questions swirl about summary executions without due process of US law. We also spotlight China’s latest export headache: counterfeit versions of its own hit toy, the Labubu, flooding the market. And closer to home, a Pulau Ubin boatman makes waves by demanding extra fare from stranded passengers—raising questions about transport regulation and tourist experience.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
