“In his first television interview since his inauguration, Donald Trump threatens to block aid to fight fires in California”, reported The Washington Post the January 22 in the evening. The President of the United States told Fox News anchor Sean Hannity in an interview broadcast Wednesday: “I don’t think we should give anything to California until they let the water flow south.”
“Trump was repeating a false claim that California Governor Gavin Newsom and other public officials would refuse to allow water to flow from the upstate to the Los Angeles area,” explains the newspaper.
The new president is expected to travel this Friday, January 24 to California, the victim of gigantic fires. A new large fire spread again on Wednesday 22nd over thousands of hectares in the surroundings of Lake Castaic, north of Los Angeles. Throughout this crisis, Donald Trump has castigated the response of state authorities, in particular Gavin Newsom whom he holds responsible for the disaster. The Democratic governor responded by inviting the president-elect to come see the damage himself.
