President-elect Donald Trump has asked California Governor Gavin Newsom to step down, blaming him for the severe wildfires in Los Angeles. Trump said Newsom’s focus on environmental issues, like protecting endangered species, has hurt important fire prevention and water management efforts.
According to Trump, these decisions made the fires worse, causing a lot of damage to lives and property.
Governor Newsom responded by rejecting Trump’s claims, saying the fires are a result of climate change and are not caused by mismanagement. He added that California is working hard to deal with the crisis.
This disagreement highlights the ongoing tension between state and federal leaders on how to handle environmental policies and disasters.
