Original: Trump suggests he would let Iran ‘take out’ Los Angeles or San Diego
Donald Trump, speaking at a Nebraska rally, said Iran 'can take out a city' when asked about striking the US, suggesting cities such as Los Angeles or San Diego would be allowed to be hit. California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the remarks as 'deranged and dangerous', with the comments drawing widespread criticism and debate about the president's stance on defending American cities.
Why now: The US president's suggestion that he would not prevent an Iranian attack on major American cities has triggered outrage and political fallout.
