This week Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Steve Okun, CEO of APAC Advisors to break down three global trends that will shape 2026—a year already being called one of the most consequential in recent memory. First, we look at U.S. politics, where President Trump heads into a pivotal midterm year that will determine the balance of power in Washington and influence America’s global posture. From economic performance to foreign policy signals, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Next, Steve examines U.S.–China relations and what shifting dynamics mean for Southeast Asia—especially as regional economies navigate competition, supply chain realignments, and strategic pressure from both superpowers. We then zoom out to a historic election year: more than 40 countries, representing 1.6 billion people, will head to the polls in 2026. From Bangladesh and Thailand to Israel, Hungary, and the U.S. midterms, these outcomes will reshape alliances, markets, and geopolitical risk.
