‘Not that simple’: Trump drags Canadian river into California’s water problems [Video]

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump promised “more water than you ever saw” to Californians, partly by tapping resources from a Canadian river.

“You have millions of gallons of water pouring down from the north with the snow caps and Canada, and all pouring down and they essentially have a very large faucet,” Trump said on Friday.

Trump was holding a press conference at a golf club he owns near Los Angeles.
