President Trump on Sunday blamed California’s environmental laws for exacerbating 17 wildfires raging across the state, saying lawmakers had “magnified” the situation and hindered responses.

“California wildfires are being magnified & made so much worse by the bad environmental laws which aren’t allowing massive amount of readily available water to be properly utilized. It is being diverted into the Pacific Ocean,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Must also tree clear to stop fire spreading!”
