Actor and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on Feb. 14 thanked President Donald Trump for his efforts to combat the homelessness crisis in the state.

The former Republican governor has previously criticized the president on a number of issues, but on Friday thanked him for sending Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson to California to take part in a homelessness summit.

In December, Trump said that California Governor Gavin Newsom was doing a “really bad job” on the issue of homelessness.

“Governor Gavin N has done a really bad job on taking care of the homeless population in California,” the president wrote on Twitter, adding “If he cant fix the problem, the Federal Govt. will get involved!”
