President Donald Trump issued a presidential decree on Sunday, ordering the Federal Government to disable it if it was determined that water management practices in California were not effective.
The order was issued two days after the President visited the Los Angeles area, which was devastated in a series of landscapes in which at least 28 people were killed and more than 35,000 acres were burned.
President Trump made a false claim that the Democratic Party Governor Gabin Newsam and other authorities had refused to supply water from northern state to extinguish the fire.
His orders have instructed the federal agency to “take measures to disable existing activities that impose an unreasonably burden on initiatives to maximize water supply.”
The law has ordered the US Pioneer Bureau to supply more water and hydropower through the Central Valley Project, which is a network of dams, canals, and other infrastructure, even if they violate the state law and local law. There is.
He also ordered the White House Budget Budget to examine whether to provide a condition to the state’s assistance to the state to ensure cooperation.
It is unknown whether these changes will strengthen California’s firefighting capabilities. Due to the lack of water at the peak of disasters, fire hydrants were depleted in some areas of Los Angeles, but local officials claimed that fire hydrants were not designed to deal with such large -scale disasters. I’m doing it.
Mr. New Sam earlier pointed out that when a wildfire occurred, the reservoir in the southern California was full, and no matter how much water it was, it was not possible to prevent a wildfire blowing at 100 miles per hour.
He accused Trump that he was spreading “wrong information and fake information like a hurricane”, and appealed not to politics when the two parties had to cooperate.
“We will protect California from flooding fake information and common values, and will cooperate with President Trump as much as possible,” said New Sam’s senior assistant. “It’s not difficult to do both. The governor and Trump did it in 2019 and 2020, especially during pandemic.”
New Sam’s office did not respond to comments.
When President Trump visited Los Angeles on Friday, New Sam said: i need your help. You were there for us during the new colon virus infection -I do not forget it -and I hope you can cooperate with this prompt recovery. 。 “
President Trump said he was shocked by a disaster at a fire conference with state and local officials, including the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bus. After a tour from the sky, he and Mrs. Mrs. Melania and Mrs. Trump visited the Pacific Palesese burnt areas, greeted firefighters, and talked to the residents who lost their homes.
“I can’t believe it. It’s just incinerated,” said Trump about the fire generated in the hills around Los Angeles and Ventura County. According to Ac -Wessh’s new estimate, the estimated amount of fire and economic losses due to the fire can surpass more than $ 250 billion.
“We must cooperate to really solve this,” Trump said.
