Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston.
Vice President JD Vance closed out the final day of Turning Point USA's America Fest last night urging conservatives to rally around Christianity and the America First movement.
You'll find Christians sitting patiently beside hospice beds and in recovery rooms and in all the places of the world where people have given up on other people.
And this is the moral truth we strive to center in our work in the Trump administration and in this great movement of ours.
Erica Kirk, the organization's CEO and widow of founder Charlie Kirk,
has publicly endorsed Vance for president in 2028.
The annual convention marked the first America Fest
since Charlie Kirk was shot and killed in September.
President Trump has appointed the governor of Louisiana as special envoy to Greenland.
Trump made the announcement on social media last night.
NPR's Matt Bloom reports the first term Republican governor is a longtime ally of the presidents.
Trump congratulated Governor Jeff Landry saying he understands how essential Greenland is to the U.S.'s national security.
Landry accepted the nomination in a post on X and said he would work to help make Greenland a part of the US.
Greenland is currently a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark.
Trump has said that Greenland is crucial for US security.
Officials in Denmark and Greenland have pushed back on the idea.
Landry comes from a background in state politics.
He was elected Louisiana's governor last year after serving as attorney general.
The Republican says he will remain governor as he serves as special envoy.
