Trump's order is premised on the idea that increasing Delta pumping would make more water available for the rest of California. But experts say its more complicated than that.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a more than $2.5 billion package to help the Los Angeles area recover from its recent deadly wildfires.
California officials pushed back on President Trump's claim that the U.S. military "turned on the water" as the state recovers from deadly wildfires. Why it matters: Trump has clashed with California Gov.
The president noted the need to fight Los Angeles fires, but the water would go elsewhere in the state primarily to aid farmers. Environmentalists complained the move was unlawful.
KCRA 3, KQCA My58 and the California Gold Country Region Chapter of the American Red Cross partnered on a disaster relief drive that raised more than $940,000 to support people impacted by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. Donations came in from thousands of callers and companies who generously gave money to help those in need.
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.
It will be hard for President Trump to revoke FEMA funding — but a GOP-led Congress could slow down recovery in Los Angeles.
The new president issued an executive order Sunday that looks to maximize pumping of the Central Valley Project. It’s the only one he can control.
Donald Trump said the U.S. military entered California and opened a large flow of water to fight fires, but state officials denied those claims.
All the talk about attaching conditions to California’s federal disaster aid have placed the state’s Republican members of Congress in a quandary.
Citing the Los Angeles fires, Trump directed federal agencies to "immediately take actions to override" water operations and environmental rules. But the water mostly serves Central Valley farms.
