president of the UNITED states, Donald Trump threatens to withhold economic aid to the flammehærgede state of California.
It says Trump late on Sunday night local time, after California’s democratic governor has criticized Donald Trumps environmental policy.
Governor Gavin Newsom have in the last week, criticized Trump to roll back more of the measures that had protected the environment.
– We are fighting against the most destructive fires in our state’s history, all the while the Trump carry out an attack against everything that can help, he said, among other things, to The New York Times.
Over the past two weeks, forest fires ravaged about 40.000 acres in California.
Sunday battled firefighters in the state particularly against a brand which has been named Maria, that cover about 100 kilometers northwest of the UNITED states’s second largest city, Los Angeles.
Trump responds to criticism from California governor by accusing him of not doing her job with the maintenance of the state forests.
I told him, the first time we met, that he must clear the skovbundene, regardless of what his bosses, environmentalists, calls, writes Trump on Twitter.
– Each year, when the fires raging, and California is on fire, happens the same. So he (Newsom, ed.) to the federal government and ask for financial help. It ends now. Get a grip on your things, governor.
California governor responds succinctly to the president’s criticism on Twitter:
– You do not believe in climate change. You are exempt from this conversation.
Donald Trump has on several occasions openly raised doubts about the scientific evidence that climate change is man-made.
in Addition, he has been skeptical of that drought must have increased the risk of forest fires in California.
Far from the political fights fighting firefighters continued to extinguish fires in the state.
on Sunday he said that 50 percent of the fire Mary was under control, while 75 percent of a fire north of San Francisco was under control.
Other fires that have threatened expensive villas and famous institutions in the area around Los Angeles, has come under scrutiny. Several evacuated residents have begun to return home again.
