Florida man arrested for threats against Trump on Facebook

The police in Florida have arrested 73-year-old Glen DeCicco for making threats against President Donald Trump, which he posted on Facebook. DeCicco has been charged with written threats of murder after his posts were reported by users.

The police, in cooperation with the Secret Service, analysed DeCicco's posts, which led to his arrest. Former FBI agent Stuart Kaplan emphasised that the services are currently attempting to act preventively by identifying potential threats before they come to fruition.

During an interrogation, DeCicco tried to downplay his posts, claiming they were merely "a creative wordplay." Nevertheless, he was detained and placed in jail in Palm Beach County.

"In this day and age, law enforcement is now utilizing proactive measures to get out in front of it. Instead of waiting for someone to actually be in the planning and preparation stage, we're actually trying now to identify those potential individuals as potential targets, opening up investigations," the police emphasized.

Donald Trump has decided to impose tariffs on goods imported to the USA from 180 countries. The rates start at 10%. A 20% rate was imposed on the European Union, and 34% on China. There is no mention of Russia, Belarus, Cuba, or North Korea on the list. The first, higher tariffs are to take effect starting on Saturday.

According to the "New York Post," some shops in New York are encouraging customers to make quick purchases before the decision comes into effect. They are urging purchases of electronics, home appliances, and cars.

Customers are increasingly concerned that product prices might rise, fearing that companies could take advantage of the situation to push prices even higher, as noted by a 27-year-old salesperson from Flushing PC Richards & Son.
