Trump’s Preposterous Claim: Canadian Water Would Extinguish LA Fires
President Trump’s claim that California could have prevented its wildfires by diverting Canadian water is factually inaccurate. Experts state that diverting the Columbia River, the likely source Trump referenced, to southern California is logistically impossible and would require extensive, costly infrastructure. This assertion ignores the actual causes of the water shortages experienced during the fires, namely increased demand and existing water management challenges. Trump’s statements are viewed by experts as preposterous and are criticized for diverting attention from the real crisis.
