Governor Gavin Newsom has formally invited former President Donald Trump to provide overdue wildfire recovery funding while Trump is in Los Angeles. The invitation ties the funding request to Trump's scheduled visit, aiming to secure resources for communities still rebuilding after recent fires.
The outreach highlights the state's continued need for federal assistance and reflects a rare bipartisan effort to move the recovery process forward. Officials hope the meeting will accelerate disbursement of aid that has been delayed for months.
