California water officials said that this week, Donald Trump’s claim was not true that the US military had entered California and “activated water”.
Trump’s comments, which have been made on his social media platform, on Monday, are the latest in connection with the remarks, and this month, after a catastrophic forest fire in the Los Angeles area. Water policy measures and measures have been taken. He often offers an incomplete or misinterpretation of state water policies or is tied to irrelevant issues.
The Republican president wrote, “The United States military has just entered the great state of California and is frequently pouring water from the northwest of the Pacific under the emergency powers.” “On people, the days of fake environmental argument are over. Enjoy water, California !!!”
The California Department of Water Resources said in a post on Twitter/X that “the army has not entered California”.
The agency posted, “The federal government resumed the federal government after the offline for three days.” “State water supply is very high in southern California.”
Most of California’s water comes from the north, where the mountain melts with snow and goes into rivers, which connect the River Sacarmato San Jokin Delta. From there, the majority of it is further sent to farmers and cities such as Los Angeles in the south through two major pumping and canal systems. One is run by the federal government and the other by the state. There is no water supply from the northwest of the Pacific, which is connected to the California system.
There is a long -lasting debate in the state how California distributes water between fields, cities and environmental use, such as keeping a certain amount of water flowing through rivers to save fish population – Trump has supported farmers who want more water.
He has wrongly said that California water supply policies are responsible for the drying hydrants as well as the forest fire in the Los Angeles area. He threatened to threaten to stop federal aid for the region unless the state changed its view of water management. On Sunday, his administration issued an executive order aimed at sending more federally controlled water south.
The US Bureau of Relief, which operates the Federal Pumping System, declined to comment on why pumps were offline for care or Trump’s comments that the army was involved. The California Department of Water Resources directed the federal government questions about the restoration of the pump.
An American official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss military activities, said no active duty troops were involved in returning water pumps.
The White House advised Tuesday that Trump was referring to US Army Corps of Engineers but did not provide details about how much water was included, where it came from or how the changes were implemented. – In a briefing from White House Press Secretary Crown Levy, it was asked what role soldiers were playing in California’s water policy. He said that California has “activated water”, and authorities have been allowed to flow from northern California to the southern part of the state.
“The Army Corps of Engineers are on the ground to respond to the catastrophe from the forest fire,” Levet added.
The changes came after a visit to Los Angeles on Friday after Trump “putting tremendous pressure on state and local officials,” he said. What was
Prior to the visit, Trump repeatedly blew up Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom and the state’s water policies. When Newsom met him on the editorial, he adopted further reconciliation, and did not mention the conditions for federal assistance during a briefing with local and state officials.
His office later issued an executive order calling for “under California’s destructive policies”. It has given 15 days to various federal agencies to offer “proper water resources in southern California”.
Trump took similar action during his first term. Environmental groups immediately criticized the executive order.
