President Trump proposes 'getting rid of FEMA' while visiting hurricane-battered North Carolina
SUMMARY: During a visit to flood-damaged areas in Western North Carolina, Donald Trump expressed his consideration to dismantle the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Accompanied by governors from Tennessee and North Carolina, he toured affected communities like Asheville and met with storm victims, many of whom lack access to safe drinking water. Trump criticized the Biden administration’s response, stating it was inadequate, and promised to assist affected individuals more effectively. He emphasized the need for substantial recovery support and urged the Republican National Committee to help coordinate recovery efforts before heading to California to assess wildfire damage.
The president also suggested shifting more responsibility to individual states for managing disasters.
