President Trump, LA Mayor spar over wildfire response
President Donald Trump visited California Friday and toured the area impacted by the Palisades Fire. He vowed to help and fix LA as soon as possible. President Trump also waived federal permits and declared a national emergency.
After surveying wildfire damage, President Trump met with Mayor Bass, LAFD Chief Kristin Crowley, County Supervisor Kathryn Barger, and several other local and state political leaders during a roundtable meeting after touring the Pacific Palisades.
During the meeting, Trump declared a national emergency and announced that he'd be signing an executive order to open the pumps and valves in California.
"We want to get that water pouring down here as quickly as possible. Let hundreds of millions of gallons of water flow down into Southern California. And that'll be a big benefit to you," he said.
Trump also disagreed with Mayor Karen Bass about wildfire response during the roundtable discussion. He also confronted other Democratic lawmakers about fire recovery efforts.
The president said everyone needs to work together to help rebuild parts of Los Angeles and said the federal government is supporting the city and state 100%.
Trump has been vocal about his disapproval of the way Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass handled the fire response. Earlier this week, he threatened to withhold federal disaster funds for Los Angeles, and prior to arriving in LA, the president said he wanted the city to first release its water and implement voter ID.
