US EditionChanges ‘Will Still Happen’: President Trump’s FEMA Plans Loom over Texas Flood Response
TEXAS, JUL 11 – President Trump toured Texas flood zones but did not address his plan to dismantle FEMA after the disaster killed at least 120 and left more than 170 missing, officials said.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump went to Texas to assess the destruction caused by severe flooding, which has resulted in the deaths of more than 120 individuals and left over 170 others unaccounted for.
- Trump authorized expanding the major disaster declaration to include eight more counties outside of Kerr County, enabling them to qualify for direct financial support for recovery efforts.
- During his visit, Trump flew over the flood-affected regions, stopped at the emergency operations center in Kerrville to engage with emergency personnel and those mourning losses, received updates from officials, and commended their commitment.
- Trump reiterated his intention from last month to wean off FEMA and devolve disaster response to state levels, while lawmakers introduced legislation to streamline FEMA, not abolish it.
- The visit underscores tensions between federal restructuring plans and urgent disaster needs, as Democratic lawmakers demand answers about FEMA's performance and staffing since the president took office.
