President Trump rallies in New Mexico

President Trump will hold a campaign rally tonight in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.

The rally, which starts at 9 p.m. ET at Santa Ana Star Center, comes after the President weighed on an attack at a Saudi Arabian oil field.

On Sunday, Trump tweeted that the US has "reason to believe that we know" who is responsible the attack and the country is "locked and loaded depending on verification" following the crippling strike.

"Saudi Arabia oil supply was attacked. There is reason to believe that we know the culprit, are locked and loaded depending on verification, but are waiting to hear from the Kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we would proceed!" Trump said.

What we know about the attack: On Saturday, coordinated strikes on key Saudi Arabian oil facilities — among the world's largest energy production centers — disrupted 5% of the daily global oil supply. Yemen's Houthi rebels took responsibility for the attacks, but they are often backed by Iran.

Though Trump did not name Iran in his tweet, the attack has caused another spike in tensions between the US and Tehran. Prior to Saturday there were signs the US appeared open to new negotiations and even a potential meeting later this month between Trump and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.
