President Trump conducted a visit to California for wildfire recovery, pledging federal aid while emphasizing his agenda for state water management. Despite a contentious relationship with Governor Newsom, they met, where Trump reiterated his commitment to streamline water supply to Southern California. His administration plans to facilitate more water flow from northern rivers, aligning with a recent directive from his office. The visit highlighted both empathetic dialogue with affected residents and his insistence on environmental policies that prioritize human needs over ecological concerns.
"I just want to commiserate and we'll be back one day to celebrate," the president told a conference of elected officials and others. "The federal government is standing behind you 100%."
But after touching down in the Los Angeles area Friday afternoon, taking a helicopter tour of devastation in the Pacific Palisades and meeting with victims as well as first responders, he seemed to adopt a more empathetic tone.
