Young Barron Trump's toy room pic goes viral after Donald Trump says two dolls are enough
Photos of Barron Trump's toy room when he was a kid go viral as Donald Trump says two dolls are enough.
The photos of a young Barron Trump's toy room went viral after his father President Donald Trump said two dolls are enough and no one needs 30 dolls. The president's remarks were in the context of tariffs impacting American families as prices are soaring -- including even the prices of toys.
"Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls. You know, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally. But, we're not talking about something that we have to go out of our way," Trump said, suggesting that Americans do not need many of the Chinese things that will become costly owing to the tariffs.
White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller defended Trump's statement and said Americans would be willing to pay more to buy America-made dolls.
"He was making the point that I think almost every American consumer agrees with, which is if they had a choice between a -- and I'm a parent of young children -- a choice between a doll from China that might have, say, lead paint in it, that is not as well constructed as a doll made in America, that has a higher environmental and regulatory standard, and that is made to a higher degree of quality, and those two products are both on Amazon that yes, you probably would be willing to pay more for a better made American product," Miller said.
Barron had an entire floor of the Trump penthouse for toys
The Manhattan Trump Tower had an entire floor for Barron Trump's toys. The viral photos taken from a video of a 2010 tour of the penthouse show Barron's Mercedes Benz, electric toy car, which had the logo and a license plate reading 'BARRON'. Barron was also pictured sitting on his stuffed lion.

U.S. President Donald Trump has surprised many by confirming he knew about Israel's plan to strike Iran in advance. While the U.S. claims it had no role in the actual operation, Trump reaffirmed his firm stance against Iran obtaining nuclear weapons and expressed hope for renewed negotiations. He hinted that some Iranian leaders may not survive the fallout from this escalation.

'Made in India' Chinese phones ring overseas
Kolkata: Chinese smartphone and electronic companies have started exporting from India to West Asia, Africa and even to the United States —markets long served almost exclusively from China and Vietnam— amid sustained government nudging and expanding local manufacturing Mobiles India for the first time earned foreign exchange of ₹272 crore in FY24 from exports, while Realme Mobile Telecommunications (India) earned ₹114 crore, according to their regulatory filings submitted to the Registrar of Companies (RoC) on May companies are yet to file their financial results for FY25. One of the largest Chinese brands selling televisions and home appliances, Hisense Group, plans to start exporting locally produced goods to West Asia and Africa from early next year. This marks a notable shift in strategy for Chinese brands operating in India, which had so far focused largely on the domestic market. The change comes amid increased government scrutiny of Chinese firms after the border conflicts with China in 2020 and persistent nudging of Chinese companies. Local Partenrships Chinese companies have been told in informal forums to localise manufacturing in partnership with Indian firms, build locally owned distribution, export, and appoint Indians in senior management and boards, people familiar with the matter said. Ajay Singhania, managing director of Hisense's local manufacturing partner Epack Durable, told analysts earlier this month that the company is setting up a ₹100-crore plant in Sri City for Hisense, which will also undertake exports. The plant will replicate the 'designs and everything done' in Hisense's China facility, he said. Lenovo Group has also lined up exports of servers and laptops from India, even as its smartphone arm Motorola already exports devices to the US. Motorola phones are manufactured by Dixon Technologies , which is now expanding its capacity by 50% to meet growing export demand, the company told analysts last month. Dixon also manufactures smartphones for Chinese firm Transsion Holdings — the maker of Itel, Tecno and Infinix brands — which has started exporting to Africa. Consumer electronics and appliances major Haier is also exploring export opportunities, industry insiders said. Smartphone brands like Oppo, Vivo, Realme, OnePlus and Xiaomi are now partnering with Indian businesses and some have started exports. RoC filings of Xiaomi, Midea and OnePlus for FY24, though, did not show foreign exchange earnings through exports. However, none of the Chinese firms operating in India have so far appointed Indian nationals as managing directors or chief executives. PLI Support Some of these export initiatives are supported by India's production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme. While most Chinese brands are not part of PLI, some of their contract manufacturers like Dixon are beneficiaries of the scheme. A promoter of a leading third-party manufacturing company said it has been a long time ask of the government to the Chinese companies to export from India. 'Even the rest (of Chines brands) who are yet to start (exports) will start soon,' he said, requesting anonymity. The need for supply chain diversion amid rising geopolitical tensions and the US tariff threat is another factor influencing this trend. Industry executives said the Chinese companies are also open to the idea of exporting phones and electronic products to the US from India, depending on the outcomes of bilateral trade negotiations the US is undertaking with both India and China. Lenovo already exports Motorola smartphones to the US from Dixon plants. Smartphones emerged as India's top export category in FY25, with outbound shipments rising 55% year on year to $24.14 billion. Apple led the charge by exporting iPhones worth more than $17.4 billion, with Samsung largely accounting for the balance.

Operation Rising Lion: US says it was not involved in strikes
File photo: US secretary of state Marco Rubio US Secretary of state Marco Rubio said Thursday the US had no involvement in Israel's strikes on Iran but had been told that Israel considered the attack necessary forself-defence. US President Trump was hosting the annual White House picnic on Thursday evening when reports of the strikes emerged from Tehran. "We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region," Rubio said, adding, "Let me be clear: Iran should not target US interests or personnel." It was not immediately clear how much detail about the strikes Israel had provided the US, and how far in advance.
