U.S. President Joe Biden has canceled his planned farewell trip to Italy due to ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles. The decision, announced by White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, allows Biden to focus on the federal response to the emergency. The trip was scheduled from January 9 to January 12, potentially marking Biden’s last foreign visit before Donald Trump assumes presidency again on January 20. The wildfires have resulted in at least five fatalities, prompting evacuation orders in affected areas, including the Hollywood neighborhood.
