California leaders condemned President Trump on Monday night after he suggested Iran could "take out" Los Angeles and San Diego if it develops a nuclear weapon.

Gavin Newsom called the remarks "deranged and dangerous," posting that after sending the National Guard and Marines to occupy California, Trump now says foreign enemies should "take out" L. A. and San Diego. San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria stated his city was not "collateral damage" and not "expendable," demanding it be kept out of "reckless war talk." Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass called the comments "dangerous" and said they could "potentially compromise" the city's safety, noting the president's role is to protect, not threaten, American lives.

The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment. In his speech, Trump also suggested the Iran war was "going to end very soon" without providing details.
