Grand Island:During a campaign rally, US President Donald Trump made controversial remarks suggesting that Iran should be allowed to 'take out' Los Angeles and San Diego while discussing war-related price increases.

According to Anadolu Agency, Trump argued that Americans should accept higher prices as a necessary cost for maintaining both national and global security. He mentioned that the economic impact of the war was 'artificial' and described it as a 'small price to pay' for ensuring safety.

Trump referred to the potential for an Iranian attack on a US city, suggesting that Los Angeles and San Diego could be targets. He stated that the war was nearly over but acknowledged the possibility of its continuation.

Additionally, Trump commented on Iran's resilience under economic pressure, noting that Iranian leaders have claimed a 'big threshold for pain.' He expressed confidence that the conflict would end soon, predicting a significant reduction in prices.

California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned Trump's statements, criticizing him for suggesting that foreign adversaries should target US cities. Newsom described Trump's comments as 'deranged and dangerous' on the social media platform X.
