Now, time for the quiz.
We've got a few questions for you about stories The Times has been covering.
Here we go.
In Greenland and Denmark, President Trump's recent threats to seize the Arctic island sparked protests.
Some of the people out on the streets wore red hats that look like the ones Trump made famous, and they do have the same MAGA initials.
But in this case, M-A-G-A stands for something else.
Your question, what do the hats say?
A hint?
It's make America what?
The answer?
Make America Go Away.
The man who designed the hats told the Associated Press he first made a batch last year, but they weren't really a bestseller until recently when Trump amped up his threats.
Now the designer is trying to keep up with a new flood of online orders.
Next question.
In the past few years, as GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic have become more and more popular, they've had unexpected side effects for American businesses.
