Angela Mancini, Partner and Head of Global Risk Analysis at Control Risks, talks with “Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys to decode a whirlwind of geopolitical and security developments shaping Asia’s risk landscape.

With Trump skipping the APEC Summit, China’s Xi Jinping seizes the moment to assert regional leadership—what does this power play mean for trade, influence, and stability in the Indo-Pacific?

We also examine the regional implications of Trump’s praise for Japan’s first female Prime Minister and the strategic significance of their bilateral agreements. Meanwhile, closer to home, Singapore authorities have seized over S$150 million in assets linked to a Cambodia-based scam syndicate—raising fresh concerns about illicit finance and cross-border criminal networks.
