Newsom tags in State Threat Assessment Center over Trump’s Iran nuclear comments

Newsom said the state office will review Trump’s remarks as California officials assess whether they pose a security risk.

  • President Donald Trump suggested allowing the destruction of Los Angeles and San Diego, dismissing concerns about high prices as "artificial."
  • White House communications director Steven Cheung stated Trump's comments were misconstrued, asserting the President argued U.S. cities would lack air force support and funding.
  • California Attorney General Rob Bonta called the remarks a "shocking low," while San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria said cities are "not expendable," criticizing Trump's threats.
  • Governor Newsom engaged state threat assessment resources, while Senator Adam Schiff and other California Democrats condemned the rhetoric and called for removal proceedings.
  • Critics across the political spectrum denounced the statements, emphasizing that a President's duty is to protect the country, not threaten its municipalities.
