California Governor Gavin Newsom has asked the US federal government for $40 billion (£31.6b) in funds to help rebuild areas of Los Angeles devastated by January fires.

Newsom sent the request to congressional leaders in a letter on Friday. He said the funds would help both immediate and long-term recovery work.

"I'm asking Congress to have the back of the American people and provide disaster funding to help Californians recover and rebuild as soon as possible," he wrote on social media.

The fires, which began 7 January, burned 37,469 acres and killed at least 26 people in the greater Los Angeles area.

Surely this is a calculated move, knowing full well that Trump will say no.

You think he set the state on fire so he'd be able to ask for disaster relief?

They wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't ask.

Prolly, would be great fuel if he tries to do anything against the state. For example he tries some shit with our water supply again, its a perfect reason to tell him to fuck off and send in state assets to stop or reverse said attempt.
