California Governor Gavin Newsom has extended an invitation to President-elect Donald Trump to visit California and witness the devastation caused by the wildfires currently engulfing Los Angeles County. In a letter addressed to Trump, Newsom emphasized the importance of acknowledging the impact of the fires on the affected communities and expressing gratitude to the brave firefighters and first responders.
Newsom's invitation comes amidst escalating tensions between Trump and the California governor, with Trump attributing blame to Newsom for the wildfires that have resulted in widespread evacuations and significant property damage. Newsom urged for a united front in addressing the crisis, emphasizing the need to prioritize the well-being of the hundreds of thousands of Americans affected by the disaster.
Trump had previously visited California in 2018 following the devastating Camp Fire in Paradise, California, which claimed numerous lives and was recorded as the deadliest wildfire in the state's history. Newsom's letter to Trump serves as a call for solidarity and a plea to set aside political differences in the face of a humanitarian crisis.
