The statement

At a campaign rally in Nebraska, President Trump said war-driven price rises were "a small price to pay" and that Iran "can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego"; California officials condemned the remark. Earlier he told Kurdistan24 he was "always" open to direct talks with Iran.
