Newsom calls for 25th Amendment after Trump’s remarks on California
- On Monday, President Donald Trump sparked national controversy after suggesting at a Nebraska rally that foreign forces could 'take out' Los Angeles and San Diego. California Governor Gavin Newsom and other California Democrats condemned the remarks, citing them as a threat to city safety.

- Media reports, including in The Los Angeles Times, interpreted the comments as a suggestion that Iran attack the cities. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass joined Governor Newsom in denouncing the president, claiming he suggested a foreign government attack Los Angeles.
