Samoa PM apologizes for Nazi gesture in leaked 20-year-old video

Samoa's Prime Minister La'auli Leuatea Schmidt apologized after a leaked video showed him making a Nazi salute and saying 'Heil Hitler' at a private family gathering nearly 20 years ago. He claims the footage was never intended for public release. The incident is a domestic political embarrassment with potential reputational impact, but no immediate policy or market implications.
