WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump will travel to disaster-hit western North Carolina and Los Angeles on Friday in a trip that could inflame partisan tensions over recovery efforts.

Fox News' Jacqui Heinrich reports the latest on the president's first trip of his second term. The 'Fox & Friends' co-hosts also discuss the feud between Trump and Gov. Gavin Newsom ahead of the pair's expected meeting.

The Republican president has criticized former President Joe Biden for his administration's response to Hurricane Helene in North Carolina. As he left the White House, he told reporters that “it’s been a horrible thing the way that’s been allowed to fester” since the storm hit in September, and "we're going to get it fixed up.”

President Donald Trump vowed to rebuild communities in North Carolina ravaged by hurricanes last year during his first trip outside Washington of his second term, saying he would ask Congress to provide additional funding for clean-up efforts.
