Gov. Gavin Newsom and President Donald Trump – They have very visibly traded a political fire, but they have also worked together, meet at the White House on Wednesday when the governor of California struggles to raise more money for devastated people and companies after the dead dead last month in Metropolitan Los Angeles.
The trip is the first of Newsom in Washington, DC, as Trump took over the White House and is part of his efforts to obtain additional federal funding to help the recovery of forest fires of the horrible flashes that killed 29 people and destroyed more than 12,000 homes and tens of thousands to evacuate.
Newsom arrived In the capital of the country on the eve of his visit to the White House and hours before the meeting he went to Capitol Hill to hold separate meetings with the members of the Congress.
The Governor traveled to the east one day after California legislators approved $ 25 million in legal funding proposed by the democratic governor to defy the actions of the Trump administration. And the legislature also allocated $ 25 million to legal groups to defend immigrants without documentation facing a possible deportation for new Trump administration efforts.

Newsom arrived in Washington, DC, in his hand.
At the end of last month, the Governor approved $ 2.5 billion for fire recovery work, which hopes that the federal government will be refunded.
And the state will probably need much more help from the federal government, as it is expected that the bill to cover the reconstruction costs will reach tens of billions of dollars.
“The governor’s journey focuses on critical help for the survivors of Los Angeles fires and to ensure that the affected families who lost their homes and the livelihoods have the support they need to reconstruct and recover -,” said spokeswoman Izzy Gardon in a statement.
Following the outbreak of fires last month, Trump repeatedly criticized the management of news of the immense crisis. He has accused the governor of forest waste and the policy of water, and, pointing to an intense decline due to a lack of perceived preparation, he asked Newsom to leave.
“Gavin Newscum should resign. This is his fault!” Trump accused a publication on social media on January 8, while repeating a derogatory name, often marks the governor.
Trump also blamed the fatal fires to the Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, another Democrat, and the policies approved by state legislators in very blue California. In an executive order issued last month, he described the management of the land and the water resources of the state as “disastrous”.

Newsom-The Governor of the most populous state of the nation, one of the leaders of the Democratic Party in resistance against the return president and a White House contestant in 2028, went back against Trump, as the two politicians. greater than life traded fire.
When Trump disputed, the governor said that the reservoirs in the southern California were full when the fires first caused that no amount of water could fight fires powered by winds of up to 100 miles per hour.
Newsom also accused that Trump had spread “the winds of the misinformation of hurricane and misinformation.”
Trump met with Newsom when he arrived in Los Angeles at the end of last month, only four days after his opening as president, to examine the damage to fire.
Trump had threatened to retain the help of fires until certain stipulations were fulfilled in California, including changes in water policy and require an identifier to vote, but now he seems ready to work with Newsom.
“Thank you first for being here. It means a lot to all of us,” Trump told Newsom as he greeted the President on his arrival in Los Angeles last month. “We will need your support. We will need your help.”
The President stated that “we are looking to complete something. And the way to complete -it is to work together.”

Forest fires are far from the first time Newsom and Trump signed up. His animosity dated before Trump was elected President the first time in 2016, when Newsom was the governor of California.
The verb fireworks continued for the last two years, as Newsom served as a substitute on the campaign court for former President Joe Biden and former President Kamala Harris, who replaced Biden as the standard bearer of the Democrats 2024 last summer.
After Trump’s convincing victory over Harris in November, Newsom moved to “Trump’s test” his strongly blue state.
“He is using the term” Trump’s proof “as a way to stop all the fantastic things that can be done to make California again great,” but I only won the election overwhelmingly, “said Trump.
Since his meeting in Los Angeles, Newsom has seemed more restricted to his critique of Trump.
Following Trump’s command, the United States Army Engineers Corps last week opened two dams in the center of California, leaving approximately 2.2 billion gallons of water out of the reservoirs.
Trump celebrated the transfer to publications in Truth Social Post on Friday and Sunday, declaring: “Water flows in California”, and adding the water “was aimed at farmers throughout the state and Los Angeles”.

But water experts argue that the newly released water will not leave Los Angeles, and is being lost to be released during the normally wet winter season in California.
Newsom, which apparently aimed to reconstruct the employment relationship he had with Trump during the President’s first term in the White House, did not propose any objection to the release of water.
