Barron Trump's best friend has a huge crush on Karoline Leavitt: 'An inspiration to Gen Z'
Barron Trump's best friend Bo Loudon is White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt's not-so-secret crush.
White House press secretary
Karoline Leavitt, who has redefined routine press briefings, has an unusual admirer who is no longer a secret. Earlier this week, Leavitt held a separate influencer briefing instead of just addressing the credentialed journalists. One of them was
Bo Loudon
, the son of Trump surrogate Gina Loudon and former Republican Missouri state Senator John Loudon. Bo calls himself the best friend of Barron Trump as his interaction with Leavitt set the tongues wagging that he has a secret crush on Leavitt.
Loudon called her an inspiration to Gen Z and asked about her biggest highlight during the first 100 days. In reply, Leavitt said she is not exactly Gen Z but a zillennial, on the cusp of millennial and Gen Z. She said Trumpo was in his 20s when he was making buildings in Manhattan and so certainly he believes in the strength and the ability of young Americans across the country. "Like yourself, here at the White House at just 18 years old. Thanks for being here," Leavitt said.
Loudon posted a photo with Leavitt and wrote: "It's such an honor to be the youngest person to ask @Karolinealeavitt, the youngest Press Secretary in history, a question as part of the New Media Briefings. God bless President Trump, Karoline Leavitt and this incredible administration!"

Air India plane crash: 'Was there any cyber attack by enemy country?' asks Sanjay Raut; questions possibility of 'sabotage'
NEW DELHI: Shiv Sena (UBT) leader on Saturday questioned the security and maintenance lapse and possibility of "sabotage" that led to the crash of AI 171 flight in Ahmedabad leading to death of 274 people. He further pointed to past political opposition to the Boeing deal, noting that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party was against it. "I am not an expert, but there are serious questions about sabotage in the Air India plane that crashed in Ahmedabad within 30 seconds of take off. Was there any cyber attack on the system of the plane by any enemy country, as they try to target our military installations with their cyber attacks?" he asked. "BJP was against the Boeing deal when it happened, and Praful Patel was the Minister of Civil Aviation at that time. People are afraid of travelling by air now. Maintenance is the key for the aviation sector. Who has the maintenance contract for Ahmedabad? Why was Ahmedabad selected for this? Why did the accident happen to the flight from Ahmedabad airport? The way ministers were behaving on the debris of the plane is really sad," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Maharashtra deputy CM Ajit Pawar, meanwhile, urged people to focus on facts instead of the conspiracy theories regarding the crash. "Several theories are surfacing. Some retired pilots are sharing their views. Some experts are also commenting. Everyone is interpreting the situation in their own way. You should also know that one person survived this crash. So, while many people are speaking from different perspectives, I request that we focus on the facts of what actually happened," he said. The government has set up a high-level, multi-disciplinary panel to investigate the factors behind the June 12 crash of Air India Flight AI-171, which was en route from Ahmedabad to London's Gatwick Airport and claimed 274 lives. "A high level multi-disciplinary committee is constituted for examining the causes leading to the crash of the Air India Flight AI-171 from Ahmedabad to Gatwick Airport (London) on June 12, 2025. The committee will examine the existing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and guidelines issued to prevent and handle such occurrences and suggest comprehensive guidelines for dealing with such instances in the future," an order issued by the civil aviation ministry read. "The Committee will not be a substitute for other enquiries being conducted by relevant organisations but will focus on formulating SOPs for preventing and handling such occurrences in the future," the order clarified. The panel will assess the emergency response, identify the root cause, and recommend policy, operational, and training improvements. It will also draft SOPs incorporating international best practices to prevent and manage similar incidents in the future.

Trump has ‘trumpeted' India-Pak ceasefire claims 13 times, when will PM speak up: Cong
'He (Trump), of course, showered praise on both countries in equal measure,' Ramesh said. 'Today President Trump turns 79. In the 34 days between May 10, 2025, and June 13, 2025, he trumpeted publicly on 13 different occasions in 3 different countries that he had brought about a ceasefire between India and Pakistan using trade with America as a carrot and stick,' Congress general secretary in-charge communications, Jairam Ramesh, said on X. New Delhi, Jun 14 (PTI) The Congress on Saturday cited that on 13 occasions, US President Donald Trump has publicly 'trumpeted' that he brought about a 'ceasefire' between India and Pakistan, and asked when will Prime Minister Narendra Modi speak up on these claims. '@narendramodi when will you speak up,' the Congress leader asked in the post. Ramesh also shared on X a list and details of the occasions when Trump made the claims with the quotes of the US president and links to media reports. With Trump repeating his claim that he 'stopped a war between India and Pakistan', Ramesh on Friday said the US president continues to make his claims for the 'nth time' but Prime Minister Modi continues to be silent on them. Ramesh also shared a video clip of Trump's remarks on X, in which he repeated his claim that he 'stopped a war between India and Pakistan' and stopped it 'with trade'. Ramesh said that as India is engulfed in grief over the Ahmedabad aircraft tragedy, President Trump continues to make his claims on India and Pakistan for the 'nth time'. 'This was at the Kennedy Centre in Washington DC yesterday. And the Prime Minister continues to be silent on these claims,' the Congress leader said on X. Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, with India carrying out precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in the early hours of May 7. Pakistan attempted to attack Indian military bases on May 8, 9, and 10. The Indian side responded strongly to the Pakistani actions. The on-ground hostilities ended with an understanding of halting military actions following talks between the director generals of military operations (DGMOs) of both sides on May 10. Trump has been repeatedly claiming that the US stopped India and Pakistan from fighting. However, India has been consistently maintaining that the understanding on cessation of hostilities with Pakistan was reached following direct talks between the DGMOs of the two militaries. Earlier this week, the Congress claimed India has suffered three 'huge diplomatic setbacks' from the US, which is constantly hyphenating India and Pakistan and that the Modi government's foreign policy has 'failed' as it is driven by domestic political considerations. Ramesh said the US' recent statements were both a 'challenge and a warning' and required serious thinking 'when the prime minister is only interested in playing divisive politics'. He also said Modi should leave aside his 'stubbornness' to call an all-party meeting and a special session of Parliament. Ramesh said US Army General Michael Kurilla calling Pakistan a 'phenomenal partner' in the counterterrorism world, Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff General Asim Munir's reported visit to Washington for the US Army Day celebrations later this week, and the recent remarks by a Trump administration spokesperson were 'three huge setbacks' to India.

‘Talks with US meaningless': Iran rules out nuclear talks; blames US for backing Israel
Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (L), and US president Donal Trump (R) (AP photos) I ran has said that talks with the United States on its nuclear programme are now 'meaningless' after what it described as Israel's largest military strike against its territory. Tehran accused Washington of backing the Israeli attack. Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei told Iran's Tasnim news agency, 'The other side (the US) acted in a way that makes dialogue meaningless. You cannot claim to negotiate and at the same time divide work by allowing the Zionist regime (Israel) to target Iran's territory." He also said that Israel had "succeeded in influencing" the diplomatic process and suggested that the attack would not have happened without US approval. Earlier, Iran had accused the United States of being involved in the Israeli strikes. Washington denied the accusation and, speaking at the United Nations Security Council, urged Tehran to return to negotiations, saying it would be "wise" to resume talks on its nuclear programme. In a dramatic twist, however, US President Donald Trump claimed credit for setting the stage, citing a 60-day ultimatum he says he gave Iran, even as his own officials denied direct American involvement in the operation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Trump took to Truth Social on Friday to suggest the strikes followed a countdown he had initiated." Two months ago I gave Iran a 60-day ultimatum to 'make a deal,'" Trump wrote. The sixth round of US-Iran nuclear talks was scheduled for Sunday in Muscat. However, after the Israeli strikes, it remains uncertain whether the talks will take place as planned. Iran launched back-to-back missile and drone strikes on Israel overnight, responding to what it called Israel's largest-ever military operation. The second wave of attacks from the Khamenei-led government came shortly after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the nation, warning that more Israeli operations were continuing. Iran maintains that its uranium enrichment programme is solely for civilian use, rejecting Israel's allegations that it is secretly developing nuclear weapons.
