President Donald Trump has sparked backlash after saying Iran could “take out” Los Angeles or San Diego while discussing the ongoing war and its economic impact. Speaking at a rally in Nebraska, Trump described higher prices linked to the conflict as a “small price to pay” for keeping the United States and the world safe. His remarks about two major California cities quickly drew condemnation from California leaders, including Governor Gavin Newsom. The comments come as the Iran conflict continues to dominate U.S. political debate and fuel questions over the war’s costs, risks and wider consequences.
