President Donald Trump’s first week in office will include a visit to wildfire-ravaged Los Angeles. “I’m going to go out there on Friday to see it and to get it moving back,” Trump said at a rally ahead of Monday’s inauguration.

In recent weeks, Trump and his allies — notably billionaire Elon Musk on his X platform — have attacked Newsom's leadership and at times promoted misinformation about California's response. And House Speaker Mike Johnson has suggested there should be conditions on federal wildfire aid to force changes in California.

Gavin Newsom doesn't know if he's welcome to join President Donald Trump's wildfire tour. The Democratic governor is willing and able to meet with the Republican president in Southern California on Friday,

Trump said, “We are watching fires still tragically burn from weeks ago without even a token of defense" in Los Angeles — a remark that drew pushback from some California leaders.

The president cited the disasters during his inauguration speech Monday as examples of an insufficient federal response to communities in need.
