Governor Newsom Criticizes President Trump's Wildfire Rebuild Order, Questions Legality
California Governor Gavin Newsom has publicly criticized President Trump's executive order intended to expedite wildfire rebuilding efforts in California. During a press conference in San Diego, Newsom expressed his disapproval, accusing President Trump of failing to coordinate with state officials and questioning the legality of the order. Newsom claimed that the federal permits promised by the executive order have not been delivered, suggesting that the President fabricated these assurances. The order aims to bypass California's permitting processes by allowing federal self-certification for builders, a move Newsom finds legally questionable. He also criticized the President's approach as ineffective, likening it to an irrelevant gesture. Newsom's comments come amid ongoing efforts to address the aftermath of wildfires in California, with the Governor urging the release of federal disaster aid to assist in rebuilding efforts.
