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.
- President Donald Trump held a FEMA review council meeting in New Orleans on July 9 to discuss federal disaster response amid recent Texas floods.
- The meeting took place in the aftermath of a devastating flash flood in Texas that resulted in over 100 fatalities, including campers at an all-girls summer camp, prompting concerns about the future role of FEMA.
- Senator Bill Cassidy and analyst Robert Collins emphasized Louisiana's vulnerability to hurricanes and the need for federal support even if FEMA is restructured or replaced.
- In June, Trump expressed a desire to reduce reliance on FEMA by shifting more responsibility for disaster response to state governments, but he has recently refrained from addressing plans to phase out the agency amid ongoing disaster recovery efforts.
- This situation suggests ongoing federal involvement remains critical for disaster recovery as policymakers debate FEMA's role and potential reforms following severe climate events.
