President Donald Trump announced a trip to North Carolina and California to assess the devastation caused by natural disasters. He will also visit Nevada to thank his supporters for supporting him in the 2024 Presidential election.
“We’re going to take care of Los Angeles. I’m going there. I’m going to California, which has been abandoned by Democrats. And I’m going to North Carolina, very importantly, first. I’ll be there on Friday and then, going from there to Los Angeles, and then I’m going to Nevada,” Trump said during a press conference.
“And I’m really going to Nevada to thank them for the vote, because we won Nevada overwhelmingly and that’s usually a Democrat vote,” he said. “And I just want to go there to thank the people of Nevada for the big- for the big vote.”
Trump previously visited North Carolina while on the campaign trail to support those affected by Hurricane Helene.
Upon being inaugurated, Trump directed officials to “route more water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to other parts of the state for use by the people there who desperately need a reliable water supply.”
“During my first term, the State of California, at the direction of its Governor, filed a lawsuit to stop my Administration from implementing improvements to California’s water infrastructure. My Administration’s plan would have allowed enormous amounts of water to flow from the snow melt and rainwater in rivers in Northern California to beneficial use in the Central Valley and Southern California,” Trump’s directive said. “This catastrophic halt was allegedly in protection of the Delta smelt and other species of fish. Today, this enormous water supply flows wastefully into the Pacific Ocean.”
“The recent deadly and historically destructive wildfires in Southern California underscore why the State of California needs a reliable water supply and sound vegetation management practices in order to provide water desperately needed there, and why this plan must immediately be reimplemented.”
