Trump also said he plans to speak to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday and discuss ending the war in Ukraine. Portions of Pennsylvania, New York and Mid-Atlantic and Southeast states were still under a National Weather Service watch for damaging wind and tornadoes, as the death toll from weekend storms rose to at least 40 people across six states. The United States will keep attacking Yemen's Houthisuntil they end attacks on shipping, U.S. defense secretary Pete Hegseth said on Sunday, as the Iran-aligned group signaled it could escalate in response to deadly U.S. strikes the day before.
