Trump, first lady touch down in Puerto Rico
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, arrive in storm-damaged Puerto Rico.
The first couple is visiting to review the US island’s recovery from Hurricane Maria, which blew ashore September 20. They are meeting with local and federal officials working to restore power and deliver food and supplies to Puerto Rico’s 3.4 million people.
Trump’s visit comes after what critics have said was a too-slow response to the crisis on the island. The president says that locals “have to give us more help” in responding to the devastation. Trump today praised the federal response, saying, “It’s now acknowledged what a great job we’ve done.”
