Los Angeles county board of supervisors chair Kathryn Barger has invited US president-elect, Donald Trump, who will be inaugurated on 20 January, to visit the region and see the devastation caused by the fires first-hand. Barger said Trump’s visit would provide hope to the local community suffering from the wildfire’s damage.
“By accepting this invitation, Mr President-elect, you will join us in supporting our citizenry and thanking our heroic first responders, who have risked their own lives to save others,” Barger wrote in the letter, which has been posted on X.
