In an exclusive interview with Meet the Press, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) says he cannot commit to disaster relief for California’s wildfires without strings attached, citing “foolish policy decisions” that should be evaluated before providing funding.

Southern Californians are bracing for gusty winds and a heightened risk of wildfires less than two weeks after deadly blazes that have killed at least 27 people and ravaged thousands of homes

Meteorologists said there was a chance the winds would be as severe as those that fueled the Palisades and Eaton fires, but that different locations would likely be affected.

Elevated fire threat is accompanying the return of Santa Ana winds that are taking aim for Southern California at the beginning of the week. While the Southland’s weather conditions have been relatively mellow throughout the weekend,

The remarks come over a week after California Gov. Gavin Newsom invited Trump to visit the state and meet the victims impacted by the wildfires.

President-elect Donald Trump will likely travel to California next week to view the aftermath of the devastating wildfires in the greater Los Angeles area, he told NBC News' "Meet the Press" moderator Kristen Welker in a phone interview Saturday.
