Trump bashes California leaders over Los Angeles fires response
President-elect Donald Trump has criticized California leaders for their handling of the recent wildfires in Los Angeles, calling state politicians “incompetent” and saying they could have handled the crisis more effectively.
In response, California Governor Gavin Newsom invited Trump to visit Los Angeles to witness the devastation firsthand and assist in recovery efforts.
The wildfires have caused significant destruction, with reports of at least 16 deaths and more than 10,000 structures damaged or destroyed.
Governor Newsom has expressed concern about Trump’s history of leveraging federal aid for political gain and stressed the need for cooperation in addressing the crisis.
Additionally, Los Angeles County officials have invited Trump to visit affected areas and discuss federal assistance, though direct contact has not yet been made with him.
The economic impact of the wildfires is substantial: Losses are estimated to reach $150 billion, potentially making the disaster one of the costliest in U.S. history.
As the situation evolves, there is pressure on state and federal leaders to collaborate effectively to address the immediate crisis and implement measures to prevent future disasters.
