Gov. Gavin Newsom thanked President Donald Trump<\/a> Friday for visiting Southern California to tour the devastation left by the fires this month, marking their first face-off since starting an ongoing online feud over the wildfire damage.<\/p>\n

Trump traveled to Southern California<\/a> Friday to see damage from the recent wildfires that destroyed thousands of acres and more than 10,000 buildings in the Los Angeles area and claimed the lives of nearly 30 people.<\/p>\n

Newsom was waiting on the tarmac for Trump before the president exited Air Force One. The two shook hands, and Trump appeared to tug on Newsom’s arm, a power move he has been known to pull on world leaders.<\/p>\n

“Thank you first for being here. It means a great deal to all of us,” Newsom told Trump after they met on the tarmac of LAX in Los Angeles just after 3 p.m. “We\u2019re going to need your support. We\u2019re going to need your help.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added that Trump was with California “during COVID. I don\u2019t forget that.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The encounter marked the first face-to-face interaction Newsom and Trump have had since Trump was sworn in as president Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump said he appreciated Newsom<\/a> greeting him after he arrived, adding, “I think you\u2019re going to see some very good progress” on fire recovery.<\/p>\n

“We want to get the problem fixed,” Trump said. “It\u2019s like you got hit by a bomb.”<\/p>\n

Making reference to some of the blame he had placed on Newsom and other California Democrats for not being properly prepared to handle the fires, he added, “We\u2019ll get it permanently fixed so it can\u2019t happen again.”<\/p>\n
