President-elect Donald Trump said he is “probably” going to visit the Los Angeles area next week to survey wildfire damage after he returns to office on Monday. He also said he plans to call on California to distribute water from the northern part of the state to the affected areas in Southern California.

Trump said in an interview with NBC News on Saturday he may travel to California “at the end of the week,” acknowledging he wanted to go on Friday but decided to wait until he had been inaugurated.

“We’re going to be demanding that the water be released from the north into the lower parts of California,” he added.

Trump said he has not spoken to California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom since the outbreak of the wildfires.

Previewing executive orders: The president-elect also pledged to sign a “record-setting number” of executive actions on his first day in office on Monday. When asked if he will sign “more than 100” actions, Trump replied it will be “at least in that category.”

Indoors inauguration: Trump spoke about his decision to move his inauguration ceremony inside amid freezing temperatures forecast in Washington, DC on Monday. He said he believes he made “the right decision” and promised the ceremony is “going to be beautiful, actually.”
