By India News Desk | Financial Express | ~2 min read Following the announcement that Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire after U.S. intervention, social media platforms, especially X (formerly Twitter), exploded with memes and lighthearted commentary. Among the viral reactions, one stood out—a meme shared by American influencer Ian Miles Cheong that has amused netizens across the globe. The meme portrays a fictional scene involving U.S. President Donald Trump, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif, playfully depicting the high-stakes geopolitical situation. The image features a dramatic visual of Shehbaz Sharif clinging to Trump’s leg with a caption that reads, “PLEASE HELP ME,” while Modi looks on calmly in the background. The satire cleverly suggests that Pakistan’s decision to call for a ceasefire was heavily influenced by U.S. pressure. Cheong captioned the meme: “This is kind of what happened before Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire. Indian X users rema...

As the world prepares to bid farewell to Pope Francis, the 266th leader of the Roman Catholic Church, attention is once again drawn not only to the man himself but to the age-old traditions and rituals that surround the institution he led.

In recent years, wildlife trafficking has become an increasing global concern, not just in terms of iconic, large animals like elephants, tigers, or rhinos, but also with lesser-known species that play crucial ecological roles. A recent case in Kenya has brought to light a shocking new trend in wildlife trafficking — the trade of ants. Two Belgian teenagers, Lornoy David and Seppe Lodewijckx, both 19, were arrested on April 5, 2025, for trafficking 5,000 rare ants that were valued at $9,200. This case, however, is far from isolated. It underscores a growing global threat to biodiversity, with traffickers seeking to exploit even the smallest and most overlooked species for profit. The Case: Two Teenagers and 5,000 Ants David and Lodewijckx were arrested at a guest house in Naivasha, a small town located in western Kenya, known for its stunning wildlife parks and lakes. The two teenagers, who had entered the country on tourist visas, were found in possession of thousands of ants, whi...

  Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg expressed confidence that the company’s financial recovery would not be significantly impacted by the ongoing U.S.-China trade war, even though Chinese airlines are refusing to accept Boeing planes. Ortberg's comments came during a Wednesday interview on CNBC, where he reassured investors that Boeing could still meet its aircraft delivery targets, despite challenges with China. The trade dispute between the U.S. and China has led to Beijing halting the acceptance of Boeing planes, including three aircraft that were initially ready for delivery to Chinese airlines. Ortberg confirmed that two of these planes had already been returned to Seattle. Despite this setback, Boeing remains optimistic, as Ortberg noted that the company is adapting by "remarketing" planes to other customers. Boeing had planned to send about 50 airplanes to China this year, but now, with the situation in flux, the company is looking to redirect planes that are not yet bui...

In the face of a steadily declining birth rate in the United States, the Trump administration is considering a number of proposals aimed at encouraging Americans to marry and have children. One of the most talked-about ideas is a $5,000 "baby bonus" for every mother who gives birth. This proposal, alongside others, seeks to reverse the downward trend in the nation's fertility rate, which has been a growing concern for policymakers, economists, and social scientists alike. The 'Baby Bonus' Proposal The idea of a "baby bonus" has been pitched by outside groups that focus on increasing the nation's birth rate, and President Donald Trump seems to be receptive to the concept. When asked about the idea of incentivizing new mothers with a $5,000 bonus, Trump responded positively, saying, "Sounds like a good idea to me." However, it’s important to note that while this proposal is under consideration, it has not yet been officially approved or im...
