Trump says ‘we protect our cities’ after suggesting Iran could ‘take out’ L.A. or San Diego

Following criticism for earlier remarks suggesting Iran could 'take out' Los Angeles or San Diego, Donald Trump clarified his stance during a San Antonio rally, stating that the U.S. would protect its cities and not allow such an attack. His original comments, made in Nebraska, were framed by critics as inviting foreign aggression, while Trump later positioned them as a hypothetical warning about the consequences of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons. The San Antonio event also featured the announcement of the Presidential Medal of Freedom for Roger Clemens and was marked by protests and an altercation in the crowd.
