WASHINGTON (TNND) — President Donald Trump said Thursday that he met with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass to discuss the rebuilding progress following the California wildfires that happened a year ago.
“It was my Great Honor to meet with the Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, Fifth District Supervisor Kathryn Barger (Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors), and the Supervisor’s Chief of Staff, Anna Mouradian, to discuss the progress made on the horrific fires that ravaged Los Angeles, and the surrounding area,” Trump wrote on TRUTH Social.
In January of 2025, wildfires swept through the Los Angeles area, leaving many people dead and multiple homes destroyed.
Hollywood stars like Jamie Lee Curtis and Billy Crystal lost their homes in the fire.
Bass got a lot of backlash for how she handled the wildfires as she was visiting Ghana, Africa when the blazes happened. She later didn’t answer a reporter who asked for an answer on how she thought she handled the situation.
“Since my strong action and statements with respect to Insurance Companies, and the way they were treating the Home Owners, that aspect of this Disaster has proceeded well — Big progress has been made, and those Companies are “stepping up to the plate,” as they should be,” Trump’s post continued.
Trump said he was working with Environmental Protection Agency head Lee Zeldin to continue to move forward with getting the state back on track.
