🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen where they begin with the Nepal–China flood disaster with thousands killed and displaced. Steve breaks down the climate‑change angle, the infrastructure failures, and why Himalayan flooding is becoming a regional security issue.

Then a surprising economic twist: China’s super‑rich who fled Singapore during the regulatory clampdown are now returning. Steve explains what’s driving the reversal and what it means for Singapore’s financial ecosystem.

We also dive into the escalating Canada–US trade war, with Ottawa announcing “dollar‑for‑dollar” retaliatory tariffs as high as 50%. And yes... America’s toilet‑paper obsession is now part of the story with the average American uses 141 rolls a year.

Finally, we remember three notable passings this week: musical legend Dolly Parton, Tim Curry of Rocky Horror fame, and the renewed spotlight on Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, whose polka‑dot universe continues to shape global art culture.
