President Donald Trump has arrived in California to tour neighborhoods affected by the recent wildfires in the Los Angeles area. Upon landing, he was greeted by California Governor Gavin Newsom, with whom he exchanged handshakes. First Lady Melania Trump also accompanied the president on this visit.
During his visit, President Trump expressed his appreciation for Governor Newsom's presence and likened the wildfire devastation to the aftermath of a bomb explosion. Governor Newsom, in turn, thanked the president for his support and emphasized the importance of collaboration for a speedy recovery.
