 A Mother's Day Nightmare in Princeton, Illinois. A 3-year-old boy was struck by gunfire as police burst into a barricaded room, ending a frightening hostage situation. Multiple agencies responded to the Hummingbird Mobile Home Park in Princeton, Illinois, on Sunday, May 10th at 2:42 a.m. The initial call went out as a domestic disturbance but officers discovered much worse.  42-year-old, Anthony Rodriguez, had barricaded himself in a room armed with a knife.

 TRUMP CALLS INDIA, RUSSIA DEAD ECONOMIES


President Donald Trump said the United States barely does any tangible trade with India due to very high tariffs, and that both India and Russia are dead economies. 


"I don’t care what India does with Russia," Trump said. "They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care. We have done very little business with India, their tariffs are too high, among the highest in the world."


Trump argued that India has "the most strenuous and obnoxious non-monetary trade barriers of any country" and would be slammed with 25% tariff as well as other penalties from August 1, 2025, for buying energy and military equipment from Russia.


ACCORDING TO ANOTHER SOURCE:

A day after announcing tough trade penalties on India, including a 25% tariff on almost all imports, U.S. President Donald Trump launched a harsh attack on India’s close relationship with Russia. In a post on Truth Social, Trump called both India and Russia “dead economies” and said he “does not care” what India decides to do with Moscow. His comments have raised concerns about the growing tensions between the two countries.


Trump has long been unhappy with India’s trade policies and once again accused the country of charging some of the “highest tariffs in the world.” He claimed that because of these practices, trade between the U.S. and India remains very limited. The new tariff decision appears to be his response to what he sees as an unfair trade relationship.


Indian officials have not yet responded officially, but the move could affect a wide range of goods and worsen business ties between the two nations. Meanwhile, Trump’s comments about Russia come at a time when India continues to maintain strong defense and energy ties with Moscow, despite pressure from Western countries.


The decision has drawn criticism globally. Brazilian President Lula called the tariffs “unjustified,” while Indian politician Asaduddin Owaisi slammed Trump’s comments and criticized the Indian government for not standing firm. The situation is still developing, and experts believe it could have long-term effects on U.S.-India relations.
