Trump says he is conditioning aid to California following LA wildfires...

President Donald Trump told reporters Friday that he will be conditioning aid to California following the devastating wildfires in the Los Angeles area, demanding the “water to be released.” He also said he wants voter ID in the state.

“I want two things. I want voter ID for the people of California, and they all want it right now. You have no, you don’t have voter ID. People want to have voter identification. You want to have proof of citizenship. Ideally, you have one day voting. But I just want voter ID as a start,” Trump told reporters upon landing in North Carolina.

“And I want the water to be released, and they’re going to get a lot of help from the US,” he added.

It is an unusual political demand for the president to make, and one that politicizes disaster relief in a state that is reeling from the wildfires.

In another political move, the president told reporters Friday that the Republican National Committee chairman Michael Whatley and lawmakers will be “working” with North Carolina elected officials on disaster relief as some areas of the state are still rebuilding from Hurricane Helene’s flooding last year.

More context on water claims: Hydrants ran dry in the hilly neighborhood of Pacific Palisades in Los Angeles earlier this month, fueling speculation that there were larger problems with water availability.

Trump claimed in a social media post that Gov. Gavin Newsom had “refused to sign the water restoration declaration” — in effect preventing millions of gallons of water to flow from Northern to Southern California. On his first day in office, he signed an executive order directing his agencies to “to route more water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to other parts of the state for use by the people there who desperately need a reliable water supply.”

But experts previously told CNN there is no connection between water battles in Northern California and hydrants running dry during the LA fires.
