The Trump administration is suing California over its animal welfare laws, claiming they unconstitutionally raised egg prices.

The lawsuit said California's animal cruelty laws created "unnecessary red tape" in egg production, bringing up prices in the U.S.

The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against California, arguing the state's animal welfare law preempts federal law and are therefore illegal and have driven up egg prices.

Trump was also quick to criticize the Federal Emergency Management Agency's response to both disasters, and as president, he has said he wants to "wean off" FEMA and phase out the agency in an effort to shift more responsibility for recovery to states.

That praise, which Trump is likely to repeat during his visit to the flood-ravaged Texas Hill Country on Friday, is a far cry from Trump's harsh criticism of elected Democrats in California when wildfires devastated Los Angeles in January.

The president and first lady visited Kerrville to meet local officials and families of the victims of the recent flooding. Trump promised federal support, but his team emphasized the state's role.
