President Trump says he's cutting off FEMA money for California fires
tulc(found this interesting)President Donald Trump on Wednesday again threatened to cut off federal funds to fight California wildfires, saying the money is being wasted.
"Billions of dollars are sent to the State of California for Forest fires that, with proper Forest Management, would never happen," Trump tweeted. "Unless they get their act together, which is unlikely, I have ordered FEMA to send no more money. It is a disgraceful situation in lives & money!"
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., responded that Trump's threat "insults the memory of scores of Americans who perished in wildfires last year & thousands more who lost their homes."
Pelosi said House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy, another Californian, "must join me to condemn & call on POTUS to reassure millions in CA that our govt will be there for them in their time of need."
