President Trump visited fire-affected areas in Los Angeles, blaming California's water policies for the devastation and suggesting he might withhold federal aid for changes. He claimed a lack of water flow could have prevented the fires but was contradicted by experts stating there is no valve supplying water from the Northwest to California, and that reservoirs are at ample levels. The fires have killed dozens and caused significant damages, highlighting a disconnect between political rhetoric and environmental realities.
"Experts say, Trump's assertions are wildly incorrect. There is no valve that moves water from the Pacific Northwest into California. There is no shortage of water in Southern California."
"It has been debunked over and over again in the past two weeks. There is zero connection between firefighting water needs and California's water policy."
