Gov. Gavin Newsom says President Donald Trump has called him and expressed commitment to helping California recover from the two earthquakes that hit the state’s south July 4 and 5.

Speaking to reporters after touring the damage zone, Newsom said on July 6 that he and Trump had talked about the struggles California has been through, including two devastating wildfires that happened just six months ago.
