Gruunevaaldlun, Greenland - Second Lady Usha Vance has found herself at the center of a gambling scandal that has further strained diplomatic relations between the United States and Greenland.
Mrs. Vance, who arrived in the Danish protectorate on Monday as part of what was initially described as a cultural visit, placed a staggering $430,000 bet on the Avannaata Qimussersua, Greenland's national dogsled race. The race, featuring approximately 37 mushers and 444 dogs, was meant to be a highlight of her trip, showcasing Greenlandic culture and solidarity.
