President Donald Trump traveled to California to survey wildfire damage in Los Angeles communities and met with Governor Gavin Newsom. The president toured Pacific Palisades with Melania and attended a roundtable with local leaders, including LA Mayor Karen Bass. Trump criticized California’s wildfire response and threatened to withhold federal aid unless the state changes its water laws and implements voter ID laws. His visit coincided with new fires in southern California as officials faced dry, windy conditions fueling fire growth.
