In the group chat where Donald Trump administration officials discussed plans to bomb Houthi targets in Yemen, Vice-President JD Vance purportedly said, "I just hate bailing Europe out again." The editor-in-chief of 'The Atlantic' Jeffrey Goldberg was mistakenly added to the chat. On Vance's message, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth replied, "I fully share your loathing of European free-loading."
