President Trump's first trip back to the White House took him to disaster-hit regions in North Carolina and California. In North Carolina, he addressed families affected by Hurricane Helene, expressing dissatisfaction with FEMA and suggesting states should lead disaster recovery. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, he was set to visit areas devastated by wildfires, reiterating threats to withhold aid unless the state changed its environmental policies. Experts dispute Trump's claims about water management's role in the fires, saying other factors are at play. The visit highlights ongoing tensions around federal emergency management and disaster aid policy.
In North Carolina, Trump met with families struggling with an extremely slow and costly recovery from last year's flooding. He considered shutting down FEMA, calling it not good.
Experts have said that the problems with fighting the fires had nothing to do with water transfers from the north, contradicting Trump's claims regarding California's environmental policies.
