Trump suggests Iran could 'take out' LA and San Diego if it develops nuclear weapons

What happened: Trump said at a Nebraska rally that Iran could "take out" Los Angeles and San Diego if it developed nuclear weapons, drawing condemnation from California leaders. Why it matters: Gov. Gavin Newsom called the remarks "deranged and dangerous," and mayors of both cities plus a Republican congressional candidate condemned them. The White House said Trump meant U.S. cities would be threatened if a nuclear Iran were not stopped. Key numbers: Los Angeles is the second-most populous U.S. city. San Diego hosts Naval Base San Diego, principal homeport of the U.S. Pacific Fleet.
