Chilly welcome: Vance's Greenland gaffe goes viral

US Vice President JD Vance touched down in Greenland on Friday, March 28, only to find himself the butt of online jokes after waving to what appeared to be a non-existent crowd. Accompanied by his wife, Usha, the 40-year-old stepped off Air Force Two at the US military's Pituffik Space Base, where he was set to attend a national security briefing. According to The Irish Star, the awkward moment unfolded as he saluted and waved, only for the camera to reveal a thin gathering – mostly security personnel and a handful of press, not the throngs he seemed to expect.

Originally, Usha's itinerary included a multi-day visit with stops in Nuuk and cultural events like a dogsled race, per The Irish Star. But backlash from Greenland and Danish officials – irked by the lack of consultation – forced a rethink, with the White House scaling it back to a single day at Pituffik.
