Trump threatens to halt funds to cease fires in California

U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to suspend state funds to put out fires in California during a row with the governor of this state on Twitter.

About 400,000 hectares of land have been destroyed by fires in recent weeks in California, while thousands of residents have been forced to move from their settlements, the BBC writes.

President Trump blamed the Democrat governor of California, Gavin Nessom, saying he did terrible work in terms of forest management.

Every year, when California fires burn, the same thing happens. He comes to the federal government and asks for your dollar help. Not anymore. Organize your work, Governor”, wrote Trump on Titter.

On the other hand, Governor Neuson, who has constantly criticised the American president's environmental policies, retorted: “You do not believe in climate change. You are free from this conversation”

Otherwise, according to one research, rising temperatures due to global warming are causing major fires in California, despite last winter's rainfall. This is because dry weather can cause vegetation to dry up and become more flammable.
