On Friday, January 10, 2025, Prince Albert II of Monaco sent a letter expressing compassion and solidarity to U.S. President Joe Biden concerning the devastating wildfires currently impacting California.
These fires have resulted in 24 fatalities, left thousands homeless, and destroyed over 12,000 structures, according to reports.

Rest assured, Mr. President, of our deep solidarity in this difficult time.'
This expression of solidarity marks the second occasion this month that Prince Albert II has reached out to the United States.
