The US state of California is battling severe wildfires, with the fire coming closer and closer to Los Angeles. The son of US President-elect Donald Trump accused Ukraine of causing the disaster. He writes about the connection between the fires in Los Angeles and the US support for Ukraine, and billionaire Elon Musk agreed with such conclusions.
Donald Trump Jr. wrote on Elon Musk’s social network X that the Los Angeles Fire Department “donated some of its supplies to Ukraine.” Musk reposted the tweet.
Trump Jr. initially reposted a tweet by former investment banker John LeFevre, who mentioned how the Los Angeles Fire Department had donated equipment to Ukraine. According to the screenshots of the news, it was March 18, 2022.
ABC7 Los Angeles reported that at that time, Ukraine was receiving surplus equipment from warehouses: hoses, nozzles, turnouts, helmets, body armor, and other personal protective equipment.
At the same time, Donald Trump criticized US President Joe Biden for his inaction in the wake of the severe fires in California. He says this will become a “symbol of Biden’s blatant incompetence and mismanagement.”
The future president is confident that the fires raging in California could become the most destructive in the United States’ history in terms of the economy. The estimated damage from the wildfires near Los Angeles is already estimated at $52-57 billion.
