Donald Trump directs Iran to 'take out' Los Angeles or San Diego as a 'small price to pay'
Middle East3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported47m ago
During a campaign rally in Grand Island, Nebraska, Donald Trump discussed the potential for war with Iran, suggesting that a strike on Los Angeles or San Diego could be considered a small price to pay. The remarks were made in the context of a broader discussion regarding war-related price increases and the necessity of military action to maintain global security.
The comments have drawn sharp criticism, most notably from California Governor Gavin Newsom, who characterized the president’s rhetoric as dangerous and deranged. While some reports emphasize the directive nature of the statement, others frame the comments as a hypothetical suggestion made while discussing the economic and strategic costs of conflict.
