California Leaders Condemn President's Remarks On Iran Threat
California leaders have condemned President Trump after he suggested that Iran could ’take out’ Los Angeles and San Diego, describing the comments as ‘deranged and dangerous’. The cities are home to major US military installations, including Navy ports and Air Force bases. Trump made the comments during a midterms election rally in Nebraska, where he also described the war with Iran as almost over. The remarks have sparked outrage, with Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass criticizing the president’s words. This incident was first reported by Reuters.
