Sharjah 24 – AFP: US President Joe Biden on Friday likened Los Angeles to a "war scene" as multiple major blazes continued to devour neighborhoods around the city.

"It reminded me of more of a war scene, where you had certain targets that were bombarded," Biden said.

The president added that there was "clear evidence of looting" during the mayhem, while also slamming "demagogues" for spreading rampant disinformation about the fires.
