The Los Angeles Fires and Trump’s call to expand American territory w/ Yale Daily News’ Andre Fa’aoso: 16 January, 2025

The Eaton and Palisades fires, the two major fires making up the Los Angeles fires, are now the two most destructive wildfires in Southern California history.

The fires have sparked significant debate about insurance in high-risk natural disaster areas as thousands of Californians lost their home insurance not long before the fires.

And president-elect Donald Trump has returned to the centre stage of United States foreign policy in the weeks leading up to his inauguration. 

Trump has threatened to annex Greenland and Canada as well as reclaim the Panama Canal for the United States.

For States of the States this week Wire Host Caeden spoke to Andre Fa’aoso from the Yale Daily News about both of these topics.
