The State Department has launched an investigation into the whereabouts of the liquor, Xinhua news agency quoted The New York Times report as saying.

The bottle of whiskey was given by Japan in 2019 and registered in the list of gifts received by US federal employees from the foreign sources, said the New York Times report.
