President Donald Trump has criticised California insurance companies for abandoning Southern Californians during the last year's wildfires. In a post on Truth Social, he called State Farm and other providers "horrendous" for failing homeowners who had paid premiums for years. He also requested a report by Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin to identify companies who performed well in accordance with their legal obligations. This comes amid a feud with California state leadership, particularly Gov. Gavin Newsom, whom he has blamed for the fires' destructive impact.
