Trump says US will keep supporting Israeli air strikes
President Trump on Sunday said the United States will keep supporting Israel's air strikes on Iran amid escalating conflict between the two countries. The president was asked as he left for the Group of Seven (G-7) summit in Canada if the U.S. would continue to support Israel's defenses and replied, 'We do.' He added that he 'wouldn't say that' when asked if he had called on Israel to pause airstrikes into Iran. Additionally, when asked about how he plans to de-escalate the situation between Iran and Israel, Trump responded, 'it's time for a deal.' 'Sometimes they have to fight it out,' he added. 'We'll see what happens.' The president praised his relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The two leaders spoke on Friday. 'We get along very well and I think we have great respect for each other,' Trump said. The president had told ABC News earlier on Sunday that 'it's possible' the U.S. becomes involved in the current conflict between Iran and Israel. 'We're not involved in it. It's possible we could get involved. But we are not at this moment involved,' Trump told the outlet. Israel and Iran exchanged strikes for their third day on Sunday. Iran has been facing Israeli airstrikes while some of Iran's missiles have hit buildings in Israel, making it past air defenses. Israel bombarded Iran early on Friday morning, moving forward with its largest-ever military operation against its common Middle East rival and upending a push from Trump for a nuclear deal with Iran. The U.S. attempted to quickly distance itself from the strikes, which killed some of Iran's top military leaders.

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A notebook was recovered from a vehicle connected to accused killer Vance Boelter during the ongoing search, Drew Evans, Superintendent of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), told reporters during a press conference Sunday night. "We did find items of evidence in that car that are relevant to the investigation," Evans said. Evans clarified that the item found was "not what would be a traditional manifesto," but rather, "This is a notebook with a lot of lawmakers and other listed in here. Much more other thoughts." There are multiple agencies scouring throughout the area of Sibley county, after a vehicle and a hat believed to belong to Boelter were discovered early Sunday morning, Evans said. "There is information that led us to do the searches that continue in Sibley county," Evans explained, adding that investigators "will be there until they feel they have done a through and complete search." "This is of the utmost priority," Evans said, adding that the vehicle was located "very early today" and a hat was found "in proximity to the vehicle." Evans also confirmed that Boelter's wife and other family members were being interviewed by law enforcement but were not in custody. He said the interviews were being conducted to learn more about what led up to the deadly shooting of Minnesota Democratic state Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, as well as the shootings of Senator John Hoffman and his wife, who survived.
