Trump Uses Emergency Powers to Deploy Military, Boost Water Flow from Pacific Northwest to Southern California Amid Wildfires
Jan 28, 2025, 04:35 AM
President Donald Trump has invoked emergency powers to deploy the U.S. military to California, where it has intervened to increase the flow of water from the Pacific Northwest to Southern California. This action aims to address the ongoing wildfires and water scarcity issues in the region. Trump's decision comes after he signed an executive order titled 'Emergency Measures to Provide Water Resources in California and Improve Disaster Response in Certain Areas,' highlighting the need for water to combat the fires and assist in disaster recovery. The move overrides what Trump described as 'fake environmental arguments' that have prioritized environmental concerns over the needs of the people. The President announced the military's action on Truth Social, stating, 'The days of putting a Fake Environmental argument, over the PEOPLE, are OVER. Enjoy the water, California!!!'
