California wildfire recovery to cost tens of billions of dollars: Biden
US President Joe Biden said Monday that rebuilding Los Angeles following devastating wildfires will cost tens of billions of dollars.
"Although the federal government is going to cover 100% of the cost for the next 180 days for things like firefighter overtime pay, debris removal and temporary shelters, it's going to cost tens of billions of dollars to get Los Angeles back to where it was," Biden said in a briefing with emergency officials.
He said Congress will need to step up to provide funding to help those affected by the wildfires.
