JD Vance’s funny quip about wife Usha’s fashion choice in front of Irish Taoiseach: Live updates

By Geoff Earle, deputy American political editor

Vice -President JD Vance started a day of diplomacy in Washington by organizing the Irish Taoiseach and turning green.

During comments in the home of the VP, VANCE spoke about taking a week of vacation to Ireland and admiring his 'beautiful landscape' and technological growth.

Then he emphasized the ties of friendship between the countries. With a green tie, VANCE spoke about how it was easy for his wife Usha to wear the color.

'It is also a really great opportunity for Usha to wear her pair of green pants. She has this for years in the closet and can finally break them out, “he said, laughing.

Among those in the audience were Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who has been a reliable voice for the conservative majority.

Many Americans have Irish descent and give the visit to the domestic political import. Vance wrote about his own origin in his autobiography. “To understand me, you have to understand that I am a Scottish-Irish Hillbilly in heart and soul,” he wrote.

Senator Jeanne Shaheen from New Hampshire announced that she will not seek the Senate re -election in 2026.

The Democrat has held the seat since 2009, during what time the politics has shifted from the state.

Donald Trump saw a win in the state in 2024 and he received the highest GOP candidate votes there in 20 years.

In 2017, De Staat chose a two-time Republican governor, Chris Sununu. He could probably be the Gop -Koploper to fill the chair.

In her announcement, Shaheen noted that although she leaves Washington, she is not retiring.

President Donald Trump used a simple trick to enjoy his favorite fast food while lost 30 pounds.

The host Sean Hannity of Fox News unveiled the president's diet trick during an interview with health and human service secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“I hope I don't reveal anything that I shouldn't do,” said Hannity.

President Donald Trump will today meet the Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin in the White House, while the few events attend to underline American solidarity and get a very early start of St. Patrick's Day.

Martin had to skip events with Joe Biden – who praises his Irish roots – last year after he had come up with a case from Covid. In the end he almost participated.

Martin and Trump hold a bilateral meeting in the morning and then go to the Capitol for the annual Friends of Ireland lunch. If the festivities look early, it is because they are. The house and the Senate will be during the week of March 17 – assuming that the government was not closed by that time.

Then it is back to the White House for a Shamrock reception on Wednesday evening. That could give Trump the opportunity to weigh on trade, Gaza and a diplomatic breakthrough with Ukraine.

It will not all be fun and games. Like other visiting foreign leaders, the Taoiseach will have difficulty trying to isolate his country from Trump rates that the financial markets have sustained.

It is Trump's first meeting with a world leader since his angry confrontation with the Ukrainian President Zensky in the Oval Office.

A growing number of Americans have a positive picture of the terrorist group of Hamas.

Despite an improvement of 12 percent in the way in which the public sees Hamas from October 2023 to the present, the general opinion of the group remains largely negative, according to a new poll by DailyMail/JL Partners.

The president indicated that there would be some pain in the short term of his rates, but that it was a necessary step to restore American production.

“I think our country had to do this, we had to do this,” said Trump. “Other countries have taken our companies removed, our jobs removed.”

The Ministry of Education has temporarily closed all its offices in the Washington area, DC, area for 'security reasons' in the midst of reports that reduces half of its workforce in cuts driven by the Doge of Musk.

Offices were closed on Tuesday at 6 pm, according to a notification to employees sent by James Hairfield, from the office of security, facilities and logistics at the department.

The e -mail reported all employees to get their work laptops from the office and work from home from Wednesday 12 March.

The Doge van Elon Musk remains largely popular with Americans, because the agency estimates that it has cut $ 105 billion since Donald Trump took office.

According to the latest DailyMail.com/JL Partners Poll of 1,000 American registered voters, the approval rating of Doge is 48%, which is just over 50 days in the second Donald Trump administration.

52% of those voters, however, rejected the new agency that creates shock waves in the government.

While tens of thousands of federal employees of Washington DC are being fired, an official of the Trump administration in charge of reducing bureaucracy seems to have used its government office to film fashion influencer videos.
