US EditionTrump to visit Texas flood site amid questions about disaster response
TEXAS, JUL 11 – President Trump will visit flood-ravaged Texas amid criticism of delayed federal aid linked to new Department of Homeland Security policies affecting FEMA's response to the disaster.
- On Friday, July 11, the U.S. president and his wife visited Kerrville, Texas, to assess the extensive flood damage and engage with local leaders, emergency personnel, and families affected by the disaster.
- The visit occurred after devastating flash floods on July 4 resulted in over 120 fatalities and left more than 170 individuals unaccounted for, raising concerns about delays in emergency response and recent reductions in FEMA personnel.
- Trump planned an aerial tour and briefings with emergency officials, while Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Senators Cornyn and Cruz joined to coordinate recovery and launched a special legislative session focused on flood response.
- Trump described the flooding as an unprecedented event occurring once every 200 years and called it "horrible," assuring Texas that it would receive all necessary support. A spokesperson for the administration emphasized the president’s dedication to providing disaster aid through both federal and state resources.
- The visit highlighted ongoing debates about federal versus state roles in disaster management, with critics questioning whether new FEMA policies and staffing cuts have hindered timely response and recovery efforts.
