President Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom met on the tarmac of the Los Angeles International Airport on Friday when the president arrived and committed to working together on wildfire receovery.

Donald Trump was greeted by California Governor Gavin Newsom as he arrived this afternoon at LAX for a tour of wildfire damage, with the two political rivals exchanging friendly greetings and vowing that they would work together.

The Trump administration apparently opted not to coordinate at all with Gov. Newsom while planning the president’s visit to fire-ravaged Los Angeles today. Just how awkward will this be?

President Trump is set to make his first trip as president to visit areas devastated by the Los Angeles wildfires.

California passed a set of bills to expedite LA wildfire recovery funds as part of an extended special session called by Gov. Gavin Newsom in response to Palisades and Eaton fires.

Gov. Gavin Newsom will sign legislation Thursday providing $2.5 billion in funding to relief efforts in Los Angeles County, where two massive wildfires killed 28 people and left behind a trail of destruction this month.
