Market Watch reported:
President Donald Trump said the Environmental Protection Agency will be “putting out a notice” of violations in San Francisco related to its homeless population.
Trump told reporters Wednesday aboard Air Force One that a tremendous amount of waste, including needles, is going through storm drains into the ocean.
He says: “It’s a terrible situation that’s in Los Angeles and in San Francisco. And we’re going to be giving San Francisco — they’re in total violation — we’re going to be giving them a notice very soon.”
Trump said: “They have to clean it up. We can’t have our cities going to hell.”
Trump was returning to Washington after two days of fundraising in California.
