Wildfires burning across California led President Trump to again lash out at the state, threatening to withhold federal funds for fighting fires
A wealthy former executive and L.A. County have transformed this picturesque property in the Santa Monica Mountains into a remote base for helicopters to refill their water tanks — a spot that’s helping prevent small fires from turning catastrophic.
The White House issued no official statement on wildfires, but it appeared the president may have been responding to an interview in which Newsom accused Trump of “a full-on assault” on the state’s attempts to rein in Earth-warming greenhouses gases. That embraces the position of some of the state’s farmers — that too much water is being allowed to flow into the San Joaquin and Sacramento River delta to support salmon, other fish and endangered species.
Trump’s latest broadside comes just short of one year since he attacked California for “gross mismanagement of the forests.” A couple of months before that, Trump had used Twitter to claim that wildfires were “being magnified & made so much worse by the bad environmental laws which aren’t allowing massive amount of readily available water to be properly utilized.”
