Trump Criticizes California, Threatens to Withhold Federal Funds Over Water Policy and Fires
Sep 13, 2024, 06:36 PM
Former President Donald Trump, during a press conference in Palos Verdes, California, criticized the state and Governor Gavin Newsom on various issues including business policies, water management, and sanctuary cities. Trump highlighted the exodus of businesses from California to states like Texas, citing Elon Musk's move as an example. He claimed that no efforts were made by California officials to retain Musk, suggesting he would have personally invited Musk to lunch and dinner. Trump also threatened to withhold federal disaster funds if Newsom does not comply with his plans to circumvent environmental laws to increase water flow to Southern California. Additionally, Trump announced his intention to ban sanctuary cities across all states, including California. He emphasized that without federal funds, California would struggle to manage fires.
