President Donald Trump is expected to deliver a "major statement" Sunday, the White House announced late Saturday.

Citing a senior US defense official and a "source with knowledge," CNN reported that the U.S. military targeted Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in a raid in northwest Syria on Saturday. Al-Baghdadi is believed to have been killed in the raid, although confirmation is still pending, the sources said.
