Sanna Marin doesn’t want to talk about her age or gender

When Sanna Marin was sworn in as Finland’s PM, she became the world’s youngest serving leader.

But that’s not something she wants to talk about.

CNN and Washington Post journalist Fareed Zakaria found this out the hard way.

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland Zakaria said: “I know that you don’t like to talk about your role as a very young woman in this very important job.”

Marin replied: “And we don’t have to. You know, we don’t have to go there.”

Zakaria attempts to salvage his question, asking whether the Finnish leader has furthered a women’s agenda on certain issues.

But Marin insists her gender is in no way connected with the issues her government has faced recently – with most of her time devoted to major crises like the war in Ukraine.

Marin isn’t afraid to take on reporters, previously calling out questions about both her gender and age.

Speaking to Vogue in 2020, she says, “In every position I’ve ever been in, my gender has always been the starting point – that I am a young woman.

“I hope one day it won’t be an issue, that this question won’t be asked. I want to do as good a job as possible. I’m no better and no worse than a middle-aged man.”

Donald Trump has once again stunned the world, this time brokering a historic peace agreement between Morocco and Algeria—with the backing of the United Nations. The move has many wondering whether the former U.S. president is reinventing himself as a global peacemaker.

Professor Tim Harcourt from UTS breaks down how Trump managed to secure the deal and what role the UN played in formalizing the agreement. Morocco’s vow to protect Jewish communities and strengthen ties with Israel adds another layer to this surprising diplomatic twist.

As Trump’s influence on global affairs grows, experts are debating whether this marks a genuine shift in Middle Eastern relations—or just a calculated political play on the global stage.
