This week, US Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr announced he's cancelling 22 vaccine development projects worth $500 million, specifically targeting mRNA technology used in COVID-19 vaccines.

The decision has sparked concern from infectious disease experts who say it could leave America vulnerable to future pandemics.

On today’s podcast, we’re going to dive into what these cuts mean, why we’re seeing such dramatic changes in US health policy, and whether similar changes could come to Australia.

This week, President Donald Trump renewed calls for America to take control of the Arctic territory of Greenland. On Wednesday, Denmark's foreign minister held talks in Washington with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, but the meeting failed to resolve what Denmark described as a "fundamental disagreement." 

Now, NATO allies including Sweden, Norway and Germany have begun deploying military personnel to Greenland in a show of support for Denmark. On today’s podcast, we're breaking down what's happened this week, why Trump actually wants Greenland, and what the international response tells us about tensions within NATO.
