US EditionThe Latest: Trump’s Extended Tariff Deadline Keeps Global Trade in Limbo
TEXAS, JUL 8 – President Trump suspends plans to phase out the Federal Emergency Management Agency after a flash flood kills over 100 and leaves at least 161 missing, prompting major disaster aid.
- A devastating flash flood hit Texas in the early hours of July 4, resulting in the deaths of over 100 individuals, among them young girls at an all-female camp.
- The disaster prompted President Trump to sign a major disaster declaration and defer talk about phasing out FEMA, despite previously signaling plans to overhaul it.
- Officials like Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Senators Cassidy and Collins emphasized that states lack sufficient resources and need a federal response similar to FEMA after major disasters.
- Trump said in June, 'We want to wean off of FEMA and bring it down to the state level,' yet after the flood, he praised a fast federal response and called it not the right time to discuss FEMA’s phase-out.
- The grim flood and ongoing recovery have muted talk of FEMA dismantlement, indicating continued policy discussions on balancing federal and state disaster aid roles.
