US President Donald Trump's statement in Nebraska that Iran could "take out" a major US city like Los Angeles or San Diego, has ignited a major controversy. Los Angeles and San Diego rank as the largest and second-largest cities in California by population, and LA ranks as the second-most populous city in the nation, trailing only New York City.
Trump, speaking at a political rallyin the state's farm belt on Monday, discussed American wartime economic sacrifices and he said he was determined to "see a tremendous victory, because it verifies all the things we did."
