The ladies of "The View" mocked Vice President J.D. Vance and second lady Usha Vance for failing to properly stage a diplomatic visit and photo opportunity in Greenland.

It was announced that Mrs. Vance would visit the large Danish island this week, but multiple reports said that they were unable to find anyone in Greenland willing to greet her upon arrival. The event then turned into an official visit with the vice president.

J.D. Vance earned mockery this week from a former Republican lawmaker as the vice president tried to salvage the second lady's cultural trip to Greenland by refashioning it as a national security visit.

President Donald Trump has pressed the idea of the United States acquiring Greenland, a territory of Denmark that has ambitions to be its own independent state.

Thomas Bard, the owner of a small distillery in Kentucky, tells the Washington Post that his business has been thrown into turmoil ever since President Donald Trump launched a trade war with Canada.

According to Bard, liquor stores in the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Ontario had initially agreed to start selling his bourbon this year before Trump slapped blanket tariffs on Canada and the country responded by pulling American liquor from its shelves.

"The View's" Alyssa Farah Griffin is incensed that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth isn't briefing President Donald Trump on recent U.S. defense and national security events.

Griffin, who previously worked as Trump's White House communications director, played a clip of Trump being asked about the four missing soldiers in Lithuania. Trump confessed he'd never heard about it.

President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he would place a 25% tariff (or tax) on “all cars that are not made in the United States,” as well as certain automobile parts. The markets began responding with mere mention of a press conference about auto tariffs late Wednesday.

By Thursday morning, stocks fell at the market's opening.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe did not take kindly to being asked if Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was drunk when he was describing attack plans on Houthi rebels in an unsecured Signal chat that has now become a crisis for Donald Trump's White House.

Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-CA) first asked DNI director Tulsi Gabbard if she believed Hegseth was alcoholically impaired during the chat that included top White House officials and, unfortunately for all involved, The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffery Goldberg.

"So one of the things we're going to look into is if what actually occurred, because the American people deserve a full accounting additionally, the main person who was involved in this thread that a lot of people want to talk to is Secretary of Defense Hegseth and a lot of questions were brought up regarding his drinking habits in his confirmation hearing," Gomez began.

"To your knowledge do you know whether Pete Hegseth had been drinking before he leaked classified information?" he prompted Gabbard who demurred, "I don't have any knowledge of Secretary Hegseth's personal habits."
