President Donald Trump renewed his threat to cut off federal aid to California as numerous wildfires raged across the state, telling Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, to improve the state’s forest management.
“The Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, has done a terrible job of forest management. I told him from the first day we met that he must ‘clean’ his forest floors regardless of what his bosses, the environmentalists, DEMAND of him. Must also do burns and cut fire stoppers,” Trump wrote on Twitter on Sunday.
