Gavin Newsom thanks Trump for coming to California to tour fire damage

California Gov. Gavin Newsom thanked President Donald Trump on Friday for coming to Southern California to tour the devastation left by the fires this month. 

“Thank you first for being here. It makes a great deal to all of us,” Newsom told Trump after they met on the tarmac of LAX in Los Angeles just after 3 p.m. local time. “We’re going to need your support, we’re going to need your help.” 

He added that Trump was with California “during COVID, I don’t forget that.”

Trump said he believed he appreciated Newsom coming out to greet him after he arrived, adding “I think you’re going to see some very good progress” on the fire recovery.

“We want to get the problem fixed,” Trump said. “It’s like you got hit by a bomb.”
