President Donald Trump is facing a call from California Governor Gavin Newsom for the 25th Amendment after remarks about Iran potentially 'taking out' Los Angeles and San Diego. Trump made the comments at a rally in Grand Island, Nebraska, on Monday, 5 October, while defending the war with Iran and its economic costs.

Newsom urged action on Tuesday, 6 October, telling The Hill: 'TIME FOR THE 25TH!' The White House rejected the interpretation that Trump was advocating an attack, saying he was describing the danger US cities could face from a nuclear-armed Iran.
