President-elect Donald Trump, in perhaps his first official trip after being inaugurated Monday, will likely visit the Los Angeles area to survey wildfire damage late next week.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who has sharply criticized California's response to devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, on Saturday said he would most likely pay a visit to the area next week after his inauguration.

Donald Trump will visit the Los Angeles area to see the wildfire devastation, in what will mark his first official trip after his Monday inauguration, according to Saturday media reports.

The remarks come over a week after California Gov. Gavin Newsom invited Trump to visit the state and meet the victims impacted by the wildfires.

President-Elect Trump said he'll visit Southern California areas affected by the historic wildfires on Friday. The big picture: Trump at a pre-inauguration rally in D.C. on Sunday announcing his visit said he wanted to send his "love to everyone affected" by the Los Angeles-area fires that have killed at least 27 people.

The president-elect announced during a Sunday evening rally that he would visit the state on Friday after it was the victim of devastating wildfires.
