A Trump executive order directs agencies to 'to route more water' across the state. But some say there's a lot more at stake.

California sued Donald Trump 123 times during his first presidency. Trump lost about two-thirds of cases filed against his administration, but that doesn’t guarantee the same results this time around.

President Donald Trump, within hours of taking office Monday, signed executive orders directing federal agencies to work toward routing more water through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to other parts of California.

Trump apparently wants to override new Biden-Newsom rules that have widespread support among Southern California cities and some Central Valley farmers.

Trump has said he would turn on “a very large faucet” that could send millions of gallons of water from the Columbia River to Los Angeles.
