Digest more
The president touted a scaled-back federal disaster response as recovery efforts continue from the deadly floods in Texas Hill Country.
Joined by First Lady Melania Trump and officials, Trump surveyed devastation and met with victims' families and emergency responders.
"FEMA has been really headed by some very good people,” Trump said during a roundtable with local officials, suggesting his administration turned the agency around after sharply criticizing the Biden administration-led FEMA response to flooding in North Carolina in late 2024.
