(COMBO) This combination of pictures created on January 23, 2025 shows US President Donald Trump in Washington, DC, on January 20, 2025 and Governor of California Gavin Newsom in Beijing on October 25, 2023. Will Donald Trump dare to cut funding for the reconstruction of Los Angeles, victim of the worst fires in its history? That's the question that's shaking the American megalopolis, where the new president is due to come and survey the damage on January 24. Disfigured by the flames, the region is still counting its dead - close to thirty so far - and is counting on federal aid approved by Joe Biden in the last days of his term to help it recover.
