During the recent presidential inauguration, Barron Trump, the son of President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, captured significant attention due to his impressive stature and growing influence. Now 17, Barron stands a striking 6 feet 9 inches tall and has taken on an advisory role within his father’s political campaign.

At the ceremony, President Trump took a moment to highlight Barron’s contributions, especially his insights into the youth electorate, which reportedly helped secure a substantial lead in that demographic. “Barron has a deep understanding of the youth vote, encouraging strategies that ultimately delivered us a 36-point lead among young voters,” stated President Trump during his speech.

Barron, who celebrated his first vote in the last November election, has been recognized not only for his height but also for his intellect and strategic thinking. His suggestion for his father to appear on the Joe Rogan podcast, which amassed over 50 million views, was a notable campaign triumph.

Born on March 20, 2006, Barron is the youngest child of Donald and Melania Trump and the only one among his siblings to have attended St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Maryland, following his earlier education at Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School in Manhattan. He is currently a freshman at New York University’s Stern School of Business.

His appearance at the inauguration not only highlighted his stature but also his growing importance in Trump’s circle, marking him as a significant figure in the current political landscape.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has ignited a new controversy by rejecting the inclusion of the host nation’s name, ‘Pakistan’, on Team India’s jerseys for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy. The tournament is set to take place in Pakistan and Dubai, with India playing their games exclusively in Dubai despite Pakistan being the official host.

The decision has not gone down well with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), who expressed their displeasure openly. A PCB official, speaking to the news agency IANS under the condition of anonymity, accused the BCCI of intertwining politics with cricket. “BCCI is bringing politics into cricket, which is detrimental to the spirit of the game. They have consistently refused to travel to Pakistan, and now they resist even the symbolic inclusion of Pakistan’s name on their jersey,” stated the PCB official.

The controversy does not end with the jerseys. Earlier, the BCCI also opted out of sending their captain, Rohit Sharma, to Pakistan for the pre-tournament captains’ meet, which serves as the introductory event of the Champions Trophy.

The PCB had to relent to the BCCI’s demands eventually, allowing the Champions Trophy to adopt a hybrid hosting model. This model lets the Indian team play their matches in Dubai. However, this arrangement also stipulates that the PCB cannot send its team to India for future ICC events, marking a significant standoff in cricket diplomacy between the two nations.

With the Champions Trophy just around the corner, this latest disagreement adds to a series of contentious issues affecting international cricket relations between India and Pakistan, pointing towards a turbulent start to the tournament.

Oppo has officially confirmed that its latest innovation, the Find N5, will support 50W wireless charging and feature an IPX9 water resistance rating. The announcement comes as part of a series of teases highlighting the capabilities of this next-generation foldable smartphone, set to launch in February.

According to recent leaks, the Find N5 will be the first smartphone to incorporate the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, signaling significant performance enhancements. Pete Lau, Oppo’s Chief Product Officer, has touted the device as the “thinnest foldable phone,” positioning it against leading competitors like the latest iPhone in terms of sleek design.

Zhou Yibao, head of the Oppo Find series, shared insights via Weibo about the Find N5’s advanced features. The device not only matches the wireless charging speeds of newly released models like the Oppo Find X8 Pro and OnePlus 13 but also integrates seamlessly with in-car systems from major electric vehicle brands such as BYD and NIO.

In a compelling demonstration of its durability, a recent video posted by Yibao showed the Find N5 being submerged underwater, showcasing its capability to withstand significant water exposure, evidenced by its IPX9 rating. This test included recording underwater videos, highlighting the phone’s versatile camera capabilities in extreme conditions.

The Find N5 also sports a refined design with slimmer borders and a larger overall form factor compared to its predecessors, which could attract users looking for a sleek yet robust foldable phone.

As anticipation builds, Oppo has begun sharing images of the Find N5, revealing a foldable design as thin as a USB-C port when opened. This device promises to merge aesthetic appeal with functional excellence, setting a new benchmark in the evolving foldable phone market.
