California Governor Gavin Newsom has emphasized that 57% of California's forests are federally owned and criticized President Donald Trump for not adequately addressing wildfire risks on these lands. Newsom has invested billions of dollars in wildfire prevention efforts on federally owned forestland and has sent a model executive order to the White House aimed at improving federal forest management. The White House responded by accusing Newsom of failing to prepare California for fire season and deflecting blame from federal funding. Newsom has stated it has been several weeks since he last spoke with President Trump. Meanwhile, California Assemblyman Kevin Kiley and other critics have challenged Newsom's wildfire prevention record, citing reports that Newsom cut $150 million from fire prevention funding and overstated the number of acres treated by 690%. Additional criticism includes allegations that Newsom has consistently reduced wildfire prevention budgets and failed to meet his own cleanup pledges. Separately, following Texas Governor's announcement of redistricting plans, Newsom suggested California might consider a response, though state laws could complicate such efforts. Newsom has also been involved in disputes over vaccine-related claims and political strategies ahead of upcoming elections.
