Trump: "Federal Aid Will Be Cut If Immigration Orders Are Not Followed"
First Interview with Fox News After Taking Office
U.S. President Donald Trump said he may consider cutting federal funding to so-called 'sanctuary cities' that are friendly to immigrants if they do not comply with his immigration orders.
On the 22nd (local time), President Trump responded "That could be the case" when Fox News anchor Sean Hannity asked if he was considering budget cuts in an interview.
President Trump criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom's immigration policies, saying "California is a great example."
He also criticized Governor Newsom's response to the Los Angeles (LA) wildfires. President Trump claimed that fish conservation activities in Northern California depleted the water in urban fire hydrants and said, "I think nothing should be given until the water decreases in California."
President Trump had previously made similar claims on the social networking service Truth Social. However, the Associated Press cited state and local officials and experts who pointed out that the shortage of fire hydrant water is due to the fire system not being designed to respond to large-scale fires.
