California Governor Newsom travels to Washington for wildfire aid

SHARE NOW

(Reuters) – California Governor Gavin Newsom is traveling to Washington, D.C., on Tuesday to meet with Trump administration officials and members of Congress to discuss aid for victims of the Los Angeles area wildfires, his office said.

Newsom, a Democrat, is trying to secure critical disaster aid for survivors and ensure that families who lost their homes and livelihoods have the support they need to rebuild and recover. 

It was not clear if Newsom would meet with President Donald Trump, a Republican who visited Los Angeles on Jan. 24 to see the fire damage. 

The president pledged to work with California.

The Palisades fire and the Eaton fire in Altadena and Pasadena have killed 29 people and destroyed over 16,000 structures, Cal Fire said. Both fires are now 100% contained. 

Private forecaster AccuWeather projects damage and economic losses at more than $250 billion.
