President Donald Trump is defending his administration's actions in the war with Iran while responding to questions about campaign promises he made during the 2024 election.
In an interview with NBC's Meet the Press that aired Sunday, Trump said he never guaranteed there would be no wars during a second term, despite campaigning on a message focused on avoiding new foreign conflicts. The president argued that his decisions are based on protecting U.S. interests and national security.
Trump also defended a proposed $1.8 billion fund designed to compensate key allies and partners affected by recent international developments.
During the interview, the president raised concerns about California's vote-counting process following last week's primary election, pointing to the state's lengthy tabulation period. Election officials have said California's counting process includes millions of mail-in ballots and provisional ballots that can take days or weeks to process under state law.
The wide-ranging interview touched on foreign policy, domestic politics, and the administration's priorities as Trump continues his second term in office.
A powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck the southern Philippines on Monday, killing at least 19 people and injuring more than 200 others.
The quake was centered offshore near the island of Mindanao, one of the country's most populous regions. Officials said the powerful tremor triggered a tsunami measuring about three feet along parts of the coastline, damaging homes and infrastructure in several communities.
Authorities reported widespread destruction, including collapsed buildings and damage to a key access bridge. The city of General Santos was among the hardest-hit areas.
Emergency crews have been deployed across the region as search-and-rescue operations continue. Officials are assessing the full extent of the damage and warn the death toll could rise as responders reach affected areas.
The earthquake is the strongest to strike the Philippines this year and comes as the country remains vulnerable to seismic activity due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire.
Six people were injured in a stabbing attack inside New York City's Penn Station on Sunday evening, according to authorities.
The incident occurred around 7 p.m. inside one of the nation's busiest transportation hubs, which serves Amtrak, Long Island Rail Road, NJ Transit, and several New York City subway lines.
Officials said one victim suffered serious injuries, while several others were treated for moderate and minor wounds. All of the victims were transported to local hospitals for treatment.
Police quickly took a suspect into custody, but investigators have not yet released details about what led to the attack or whether the victims were specifically targeted.
The stabbing took place just hours before thousands of fans are expected to travel to nearby Madison Square Garden for Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Authorities have not indicated whether the incident will affect security plans surrounding the highly anticipated matchup.
The investigation remains ongoing as detectives work to determine a motive and gather additional information about the suspect.
Israel and Iran exchanged missile fire Monday in what officials described as the most serious escalation since a ceasefire took effect two months ago.
Israeli authorities said Iran launched three waves of missiles toward the country, triggering air raid alerts and prompting air defense systems to intercept incoming projectiles. Explosions were reported in central Israel as residents sought shelter.
The exchange came after Israel carried out strikes inside Iran, which officials said were conducted in response to earlier missile activity from Tehran.
The conflict also expanded beyond the two countries when Yemen's Houthi rebels launched a missile toward Israel and renewed threats against shipping in the Red Sea.
The latest developments have raised concerns among world leaders about the possibility of a broader regional conflict, with renewed calls for restraint and de-escalation across the Middle East.

On today's show, Jeff Vaughn fills in for Josh Hammer and talks with journalist Daniel Guss, DanielGuss.Substack.com, about the level of blatant voter fraud taking place in blue states like California.
Later, Jeff is joined by political strategist Aidan Chao to discuss the insane level of over-taxation in California, which is killing small business, worsening the affordability crisis for average families, and sending many residents fleeing to red states.
Imagine the national outrage, the nonstop media coverage, the riots, and the congressional hearings if the races were reversed and a white teen had stabbed a black one.
In a fiery segment, Mike hammered home that conservatives must defeat not only the radical Democrats but also the spineless RINOs who stand in the way of real election security.
Russian President Vladimir Putin says Moscow will strengthen its air defense systems following a series of Ukrainian drone attacks that have reached deep into Russian territory.
Putin made the remarks Thursday during a meeting with international news agency leaders on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Russia's premier annual event aimed at attracting foreign investment and showcasing the country's economy.
The comments came just days after Ukrainian drones struck an oil terminal in St. Petersburg and targeted a nearby historic naval base. The attacks occurred shortly before the economic forum opened, creating an unwelcome backdrop for an event the Kremlin traditionally uses to highlight Russia's economic strength and international partnerships.
Responding to a question from The Associated Press, Putin vowed that Russia would bolster its air defenses to counter the growing threat posed by long-range Ukrainian drone operations.
Ukraine has increasingly relied on drone attacks to strike targets far from the front lines, aiming to disrupt Russia's energy infrastructure, military facilities, and defense industries. Recent attacks have demonstrated Kyiv's ability to reach strategic locations hundreds of miles inside Russia.
The latest strikes come as fighting between Russia and Ukraine continues with no clear end in sight. Both sides have intensified long-range attacks in recent months, targeting military, energy, and transportation infrastructure.
Despite the security concerns, Russian officials have continued with the St. Petersburg forum, which remains one of the country's most important economic and diplomatic gatherings.
