Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity he would visit North Carolina, which was hit by Hurricane Helene in September, before heading to California. Trump criticized California’s water policies and forest management, suggesting federal aid should be conditional on policy changes. California officials have rejected Trump’s claims about water policies, with conservation groups stating that regulations for the endangered delta smelt minimally affect water supply.
