Despite attacks from Trump supporters, Trudeau announced Canada's assistance in combating wildfires in California.

Canadian firefighting planes (water bombers) are assisting in combating the extensive wildfires currently raging in California.

This was reported by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a post on social media platform X.

“Canadians are thinking of all the residents of California who have been affected by these wildfires, including those who tragically lost their lives. We are not strangers to the challenges posed by wildfires, and our Canadian firefighters are currently helping California. Canadian water bombers are already on the front lines. We are ready to provide additional resources to our American neighbors,” he wrote.

The death toll from the wildfires in California has risen to five. Meanwhile, the wildfires have reached the Hollywood Hills, prompting the evacuation of local residents. Authorities report that five wildfires continue to rage in the Los Angeles area, impacting 150,000 people in the evacuation zone.

The area of the most intense fire in the Pacific Palisades region between Santa Monica and Malibu exceeds 60 square kilometers. According to the chief of the Los Angeles County Fire Department, the fire has destroyed at least a thousand structures.

The day before, billionaire Elon Musk referred to the Canadian Prime Minister as "a girl whose opinion doesn't matter." This was his reaction to Trudeau's statement about the impossibility of Canada joining the U.S., which he commented on via social media platform X.

Trudeau, let us remind you, announced that he is stepping down as Prime Minister of Canada, but assured that he would remain in his position until a suitable replacement is found.

Background. Meanwhile, elected U.S. President Donald Trump continues to publicly urge Canada to become part of the United States.

“If Canada becomes our 51st state, their taxes will drop by more than 60%, their businesses will immediately double, and they will be protected militarily like no other country in the world,” Trump wrote on the social media platform Truth Social in a Christmas greeting.
