🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun CEO APAC Advisors joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen with a Special USA@250 edition. 

We start with the USMCA bombshell: the US says it will not renew the landmark US‑Mexico‑Canada Agreement in its current form. this means the trade deal will not receive its automatic 16‑year extension. It’s a major shake‑up for North American trade, supply chains, and regional competitiveness. It has major implications for global markets and Asia.

Then to Singapore, where the US has approved the sale of 67 AGM‑114R Hellfire missiles. The US$22.3 million precision‑guided package underscores ongoing defence ties and Singapore’s long‑term deterrence strategy and the US desire to hedge against China.

We also look at America’s record‑setting July 4 fireworks, where 850,000 pyrotechnics will light up Washington and potentially shower the city with heavy‑metal pollution. Scientists are sounding alarms.

And for our kicker: the couple who scaled the Empire State Building antenna to unfurl a banner about peace and love and then ended up hand-cuffed in custody.
