In an interview aired Wednesday night, Trump said he may withhold aid to California until the state adjusts how it manages its scarce water resources. He falsely claimed that California’s fish conservation efforts in the northern part of the state are responsible for fire hydrants running dry in urban areas.

The US President made the threat unless California leaders change the state’s approach on its management of water.

President Donald Trump once again raised the possibility of withholding federal disaster aid for Southern California’s wildfires unless certain conditions are met.
