We are willing to sit down and work with them on some of the issues they want to talk about, whether it's the extension of premium tax credits with reforms. We're happy to have that conversation.

Thomas Jacob Sanford drove a pickup truck into morning services at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Chapel in Grand Blanc, Michigan, Sunday morning. He shot at worshipers while also setting the church ablaze. Sanford was shot and killed by responding officers. William Rennie is the Grand Blanc Township Police Chief. He says the fire largely destroyed the church.

What were the key points and reactions from Trump and Netanyahu at the White House meeting?

We have not completed search in the church, but as we know, everyone has been accounted for. Authorities would not comment on Sanford's potential motive.
