МОСКВА, 17 сентября 2021, Институт РУССТРАТ. US President Joe Biden ordered to provide federal assistance to the victims of the Caldor fire in California. In his decree signed on the evening of September 12, Biden recognised this fire as a major natural disaster and promised to throw money at the state authorities and a number of private NGOs - however, only "on the basis of cost sharing" — for emergency work and repair/replacement of damaged facilities. By the way, not a word about compensation for citizens.
