Trump calls San Diego a 'small price to pay' for war with Iran

Original: Trump offers up San Diego as ‘small price to pay’ for Iran war, sparking bipartisan backlash

Donald Trump reportedly suggested that San Diego could be sacrificed as a 'small price to pay' in a war with Iran, framing the city of 1.4 million people as acceptable collateral. The remark drew criticism from both Democrats and Republicans, including officials and residents of the California border city, who condemned the idea of writing off an American city in a foreign conflict.

Why now: The remark touches on live tensions over a potential US conflict with Iran and provoked unusual bipartisan anger.
