President Trump and first lady Melania Trump traveled to Southern California and met with residents to tour the damage of the Los Angeles wildfires on Friday.

The president has had harsh words for state and local leaders in California amid the deadly blazes. He recently suggested that any federal aid could come with strings.

California is seeking federal emergency aid from Trump and Congress as it continues to recover from the fires, with several blazes still not fully extinguished. The Palisades fire was at 79 percent containment with an estimated 23,448 acres burned as of Friday night, according to Cal Fire.

President Trump landed in Los Angeles Friday afternoon to tour damage from the devastating Palisades Fire, one of two deadly wildfires fires this month, greeting Gov. Gavin Newsom who was waiting at the bottom of the steps to Air Force One.

Instead of having federal financial assistance flow through FEMA, the Republican president said Washington could provide money directly to the states.

Donald Trump scored a big win in Washington and visited North Carolina, California and Nevada on first trip since beginning his second term.

President Trump landed in Los Angeles on Friday to survey the devastation from the firestorms that swept through the county.

President Trump is expected to visit Los Angeles Friday for a tour areas damaged by two of the deadliest and destructive wildfires on record in California.

Some donned red, white, and blue and celebrated the 47th president. Others filled the streets in protest of another Trump presidency.

President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will be in Southern California Friday to view the recent wildfire devastation and discuss relief efforts amid a war of words with Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Gov. Gavin Newsom stepped up his intervention on the California Coastal Commission on Monday, chiding the agency for providing “legally erroneous guidance” that threatens to “create confusion and delay in rebuilding efforts” for wildfire victims in Los Angeles County.
