Justin Trudeau, Canada's outgoing Prime Minister, discussed the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles with California Governor Gavin Newsom, which have resulted in at least 11 fatalities.
In a social media post, Trudeau expressed solidarity, stating that Canada is ready to support California during this challenging time, reminiscent of past wildfire battles together.
The call comes amidst escalating tensions between Trudeau and Donald Trump, who criticized Canada for its trade relationship with the U.S. and suggested a re-evaluation of financial support for Canada.
Trump also targeted Newsom, blaming him for the situation in California due to his environmental policies, further exacerbating the conflict.
The wildfires have caused extensive property damage, evacuations, and have severely impacted communities along California's coastline, igniting discussions on climate and fire management policies.
