WASHINGTON _ After touring the devastation of the Camp Fire in Paradise, Calif. on Saturday, President Donald Trump announced that the federal government would provide an additional $500 million in funding to the 2018 farm bill for forest management to help mitigate future fires.
Back in Washington, however, no one seems to know what he's talking about.
"$500 million. That will be in the farm bill. We just put it in," Trump told reporters at the Incident Command Post for the Camp Fire in Chico, Calif on Nov. 17. "We have a new category, and that's management and maintenance of the forests. It's very important."
