US President Donald Trump suggests Iran could attack Los Angeles and San Diego, calling it a small price to pay

During a campaign rally in Nebraska on Monday, President Donald Trump suggested that Iran could "take out" Los Angeles and San Diego, calling it a "small price to pay" for keeping the country safe. His remarks drew immediate backlash from California leaders, including Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, and Governor Gavin Newsom, who called them dangerous and reckless. The comments were made ahead of the midterm elections, and Trump added that the war with Iran would end soon.
