(Warren Buffett Retirement). The billionaire not only tendered his resignation but also announced his successor. Interestingly, Warren Buffett's Successor is not his son, Howie Buffett, but 62-year-old Greg Abel.&nbsp;
Billionaire Warren Buffett announced the end of his career at the annual meeting of Berkshire in Omaha last Saturday. In his address, he said, 'I think now the time has come when the company should get a new Chief Executive Officer by the end of the year. ' That is, Warren Buffett will leave Berkshire Hathaway at the end of 2025, and the new CEO will take over in his place. Warren Buffett surprised the company's more than 40,000 investors present by suddenly announcing his retirement. However, the investors greeted Buffett's decision with a standing ovation. Now, the question arises, who is Warren Buffett's Successor, Greg Abel? Below is all you need to know-&nbsp;
<h2>Who is Greg Abel, Berkshire Hathaway's new CEO?</h2>
Greg Abel has been the vice-chairman of non-insurance operations of Berkshire Hathaway since January 2018. After 2025, Greg Abel will take charge as the new CEO of the company. Before joining Buffett's company, Abel began his career as a chartered accountant with PricewaterhouseCoopers in their San Francisco office. In 1992, he joined CalEnergy, a geothermal electricity producer.
CalEnergy acquired MidAmerican Energy, adopting its name, and Berkshire Hathaway acquired a controlling interest in 1999. Abel became CEO of MidAmerican in 2008, and the company was renamed Berkshire Hathaway Energy in 2014. Abel is also called Omaha's crown prince.
Abel is 62 years old, and he has been handed over the key to a $1.2 trillion company along with a portfolio of stocks such as Apple Inc. and American Express Co. on top of a collection of insurance, energy, railroad and consumer businesses that regularly churn out $10 billion a quarter in operating profit.&nbsp;
The market capitalization of Berkshire Hathaway is $1.16 trillion. Along with announcing his retirement, the 94-year-old billionaire has also made it clear that he will remain a shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway, and although all the decisions taken regarding the company will be in the hands of Greg Abel, Buffett will remain involved in the role of advisor to the company. Apart from this, he said, 'I have no intention of selling even a single share of Berkshire Hathaway that I have; I will eventually donate it'.

After India's fresh <a title="retaliatory strikes on Pakistan" href="https://www.truescoopnews.com/newsdetail/lahore-air-defence-system-destroyed-indias-retaliatory-strike-pak-drones-missiles-shot-down" target="_blank" rel="noopener">retaliatory strikes on Pakistan</a>, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) addressed a press briefing on Thursday evening. To address the press conference, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh appeared before the media. While both the security officials gave details about India's retaliatory actions in Pakistan, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri addressed several other controversies, including whether NSAs of both countries have talked to each other or not, and the lies that Pakistan is flooding social media with.&nbsp;
What raised everyone's eyebrows was when Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri denied Pakistani claims that India targeted the Noseri Dam structure at the Neelum-Jhelum Hydropower Project. Misri further warned Pakistan of severe consequences if Pakistan targets similar structures of India.&nbsp;
Vikram Misri said, "Pakistan attacked a Sikh Gurudwara in Poonch that killed Sikh community members killed. Total of 16 civilians killed in Pakistan shelling along the LoC."
&ldquo;Any further action by Pakistan is an escalation by Pakistan, which will be responded to appropriately. The allegation of India targeting the Neelam-Jhelam dam is a complete fabrication. These are a pretext for Pakistan's plan for similar attacks. Pakistan should remember the consequences for such action,&rdquo; Misri added.&nbsp;

A post on X (former Twitter) went viral on Wednesday that linked former Team India cricketer Shikhar Dhawan after Operation Sindoor. It was alleged that Shikhar Dhawan took a brutal swipe at Pakistan and former cricketer Shahid Afridi after Operation Sindoor. Under the codename Operation Sindoor, India carried out air strikes in Pakistan and PoK, destroying 9 terror launch pads. As soon as India turned Pakistani terror launch pads into ashes, ISI started peddling fake news and misinformation on X, claiming that it shot down India's Rafale jets which were debunked by PIB. What caught everyone's attention was a viral tweet linked to Shikhar Dhawan's reaction on Operation Sindoor in which he allegedly took a dig at <a title="Shahid Afridi" href="https://www.truescoopnews.com/newsdetail/amit-mishras-mouthshuttering-reply-to-shahid-afridi-over-yasin-maliks-sentencing-wins-dont-mislead" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shahid Afridi</a>, who was spilling venom against the Indian Army for the past few days.&nbsp;
In the viral tweet on X, Shikhar was seen in a swimming pool holding a cup of tea. The caption reads, "Aur kaisi lagi chai padosiyon (How was the tea neighbours?) Notably, the tweet got 1.2 million views.&nbsp;

The truth behind Shikhar Dhawan's viral tweet on Pakistan
The post that is going viral on X does not belong to former Team India cricketer Shikhar Dhawan. The social media account from which the tweet has been made is named 'Shikkar Dhawen'. Hence, it can be said that Shikhar Dhawan did not take a swipe at Shahid Afridi or Pakistan.&nbsp;
However, Shikhar has indeed reacted to Operation Sindoor from his official X handle, 'Shikhar Dhawan'. Shikhar, in his official tweet, wrote, "India takes a stand against terrorism."

For the unversed, Shikhar Dhawan and Shahid Afridi came at loggerheads on social media after the former Pakistani cricketer spilled venom against Indian Army and the Modi Government. Reacting to it, Shikhar had fact-checked Shahid Afridi on the number of wars Pakistan lost to India. In response, Afridi responded with the 'tea is fantastic' meme. Hence, the tweet from a fake account of Shikhar Dhawan went viral.&nbsp;

A viral tweet was linked to Shikhar Dhawan in which he allegedly took a dig at Shahid Afridi, who was spitting venom against the Indian Army for the past few days.
