Trump's antagonistic relationship with California overshadows his visit to check on wildfires
MCCLELLAN PARK, Calif. - President Donald Trump arrived in Northern California on Monday for a briefing on the deadly wildfires, an event held mostly in private and overshadowed by Trump's antagonism toward the state and the administration of Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Newsom did not meet Trump on the airfield when Air Force One landed shortly before 11 a.m. at McClellan Park, just outside Sacramento, as firefighters across California continue to battle wildfires that have killed at least 24 people in the last month.
Despite his ongoing political feud with Newsom, Trump told reporters that he and the Democratic governor have worked well together.
"We have a good relationship. We're obviously from different sides of the spectrum," Trump told reporters shortly before meeting with the governor.
