President Trump landed in Los Angeles Friday afternoon to tour damage from the devastating Palisades Fire, one of two deadly wildfires fires this month, greeting Gov. Gavin Newsom who was waiting at the bottom of the steps to Air Force One.

The president has had harsh words for state and local leaders in California amid the deadly blazes. He recently suggested that federal aid could come with strings.

President Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom met on the tarmac of the Los Angeles International Airport on Friday when the president arrived and committed to working together on wildfire receovery.

Parched Southern California could get some badly needed rain this weekend to dampen the prospects of another round of deadly wildfires.

With parts of Los Angeles County still smoldering from wildfires, the expected rain this weekend would seem like a welcome relief. But how the rain falls could make the difference between a disaster respite or a disaster repeat.
