Chapter 1: What are the highlights of the March 28th Afternoon Update?
The vice president visits Greenland, Elise Stefanik returns to House leadership, and a warning to foreign students from Secretary of State Marco Rubio. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley. It's Friday, March 28th, and this is your Morning Wire afternoon update.
Chapter 2: Why is Vice President Vance visiting Greenland?
Vice President J.D. Vance and other U.S. officials are set to arrive in Greenland today for a one-day visit. Daily Wire reporter Amanda Prestigiacomo has details on the trip.
Vance will touch down at a U.S. military installation in the northwest of Greenland. The delegation includes Vance's wife Usha, Energy Secretary Chris Wright, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, and Senator Mike Lee of Utah. They'll meet with U.S. troops stationed at the base, which operates under an agreement with Denmark.
Chapter 3: How are Greenland residents reacting to the U.S. visit?
The trip's plans shifted after Greenland officials and residents expressed reluctance to host the American visitors. Originally, Usha Vance was scheduled to attend a dog sled race and visit a travel agency in the capital, but those plans were canceled following local objections. President Trump has emphasized Greenland's strategic importance to U.S.
security, citing its vast size and resources, though a recent poll shows that most of the island's 56,000 residents oppose joining the United States. The visit comes amid heightened U.S. interest in the Arctic region, with Vance's office stressing the need for improved security infrastructure in Greenland. Here's J.D. Vance speaking about the trip on Tuesday.
A lot of other countries have threatened Greenland, have threatened to use its territories and its waterways to threaten the United States, to threaten Canada, and of course to threaten the people of Greenland. Speaking for President Trump, We want to reinvigorate the security of the people of Greenland because we think it's important to protecting the security of the entire world.
Unfortunately, leaders in both America and in Denmark, I think, ignored Greenland for far too long. That's been bad for Greenland. It's also been bad for the security of the entire world. We think we can take things in a different direction.
Chapter 4: Why was Elise Stefanik's UN ambassador nomination withdrawn?
The Trump administration has withdrawn the nomination of Elise Stefanik as US ambassador to the UN. Daily Wire reporter Tim Pearce tells us why.
The White House is urging New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik to stay in the House to preserve Republicans' slim majority and help President Trump's America First agenda. Stefanik cleared the Senate Foreign Relations Committee back in January, but never reached a full Senate vote.
Trump praised Stefanik as absolutely fantastic on True Social, citing her leadership value over risking her seat in a special election. Speaker Mike Johnson praised Stefanik as a devoted patriot and offered her a leadership position in the House. Her replacement pick for U.N. ambassador has not yet been named.
Chapter 5: What safety concerns are addressed in the FAA hearing?
Lawmakers grilled the acting chief of the FAA Thursday over the January 29th midair collision near Reagan National Airport. Daily Wire senior editor Ash Short has the story.
Chapter 6: What actions is the FAA taking after the midair collision?
In this testimony, the FAA's acting chief, Chris Rochelleau, insisted that flying remains safe despite the recent DCA crash with a helicopter that killed 67 people. The FAA has since banned most helicopter traffic near the airport and will mandate a tracking feature, ADS-B out, to boost safety, even as the Army resists the move due to surveillance fears.
Senator Maria Cantwell of Washington asked a question on most Americans' minds during the hearing.
Why did the FAA not act on 15,000 reports of dangerous proximity? How were these helicopter routes allowed to remain when alarm bells were literally going off in the towers? This lack of oversight must change.

A 30-year-old Turkish student studying at Tufts University in Massachusetts was detained by ICE Tuesday and moved to a detention center in Louisiana. Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressed her case on Thursday, warning that the Trump administration won't tolerate foreign students on visas who join violent demonstrations and disrupt college campuses.
We revoked her visa. It's an F1 visa, I believe. We revoked it, and here's why. And I'll say it again. I've said it everywhere. Let me be abundantly clear.
If you apply for a visa to enter the United States and be a student, and you tell us that the reason why you're coming to the United States is not just because you want to write op-eds, but because you want to participate in movements that are involved in doing things like vandalizing universities, harassing students, taking over buildings, creating a ruckus, we're not going to give you a visa.
If you lie to us and get a visa and then enter the United States and with that visa participate in that sort of activity, we're going to take away your visa. And once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States and we have a right, like every country in the world has a right, to remove you from our country. So it's just that simple.
