President-elect Donald Trump announced his plans to visit the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles County, likely at the end of the following week. He had been invited by Gov. Gavin Newsom and County Supervisor Kathryn Barger, following a war of words between Trump and Newsom over firefighting efforts. Trump criticized Newsom’s policies, blaming him for the disaster and demanding more water flow into California. This led to a back-and-forth of insults between the two leaders. Despite the criticism, Newsom expressed concern that the feud could delay federal disaster aid. The fires are expected to be the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history, with emergency proclamations issued at the county and state levels and President Joe Biden approving a Major Disaster declaration for the state. The ongoing fires have caused significant destruction, leading to widespread devastation and loss of homes. Trump’s upcoming visit to the affected area will likely serve as a reassurance of federal support for the ongoing crisis.
