The Agenda: What it takes to be a young successful woman in Singapore today

US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to meet this week, after senior US and Chinese officials wrapped up talks covering trade, critical minerals and artificial intelligence.

China’s global trade surplus is on track to top US$1 trillion for a second consecutive year, even as US tariffs continue to target Chinese goods. At the latest talks, both sides also discussed extending their existing trade truce and creating a new channel for dialogue on AI risks.

So what can we expect from the Trump-Xi summit? Can the two sides keep their trade tensions under control? And could AI become an unexpected area of cooperation between the world's two biggest AI powers? What could this mean for Singapore and the wider global economy?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr Chong Ja Ian, Assistant Professor of Political Science at the National University of Singapore, to find out more.

Holidaying with friends sounds like fun until you realize you’re the one doing all the planning, booking everything, keeping track of expenses… and then chasing everyone for their share of the bill after the trip is already over.

A new YouTrip survey of 1,000 Singaporeans found that one in three have argued over travel expenses after a group trip, with late repayments, incorrect calculations and unfair splitting among the common sources of conflict. 

On What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Alexandra Parada discuss how long is too long to wait for a friend to PayNow you? Would you actually confront someone over a $20 debt? And at what point does a holiday expense become a friendship problem?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong explores what’s behind these warnings, how realistic the risks are, and what it means as AI development accelerates with Ian Tan, Lecturer at NTU’s Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information.
