Trump targets State Farm over California wildfire response

President Trump this week criticized State Farm and other insurance companies for what he characterized as inadequate handling of claims related to last year's California wildfires. Trump pledged that his administration would investigate the insurers' response, though the scope and legal basis for such a probe remain unclear. The criticism reflects growing frustration over insurance companies' handling of wildfire-related claims, an issue that has affected thousands of California residents seeking reimbursement for losses. Insurance availability and claims processing in wildfire-prone areas have become a major political issue in California, where some carriers have withdrawn from the market amid rising disaster costs. It remains uncertain whether any formal investigation or regulatory action will follow Trump's comments.
