Trump opens floodgates, and acrimony swamps Calif.

摘要

On the campaign trail in 2016, President Trump swung into California's agricultural hub and vowed to deliver morewater to the drought-ridden state's farmers."We're going to solve your water problem," he declared at a May 2016 rally in Fresno.Three years into his administration, Trump is now opening the floodgate to deliver on that promise, setting up themost intense water war between the federal government and California in the state's history."There isn't precedent for this type of acrimony," said Jerry Meral, who served as a top water aide to Gov. JerryBrown (D) during his administrations in the 1970s-1980s and 2000s.
