Trump says he wants to reshape the Fema during his visits to the disaster areas: NPR

President Trump said on Friday that he was planning to sign a decree to “start the FEMA reform and fundamental overhaul process – or perhaps get rid of FEMA”.

By visiting certain regions of Northern Carolina Hardly affected by the floods after Hurricane Helene, Trump said that he thought that the Federal Emergency Management Agency was too bureaucratic and slow. He suggested that the governments of the States manage disasters on their territory.

The precise details on the decree were not immediately available and Trump eluded journalists’ questions on the calendar of his projects.

In Swannanoa, in North Carolina, Trump invited families to talk about the floods that destroyed their homes and their difficulties to recover.

Trump said his administration would offer “housing solutions” in North Carolina and that he would sign a decree on Friday to lift the regulations so that the roads can be rebuilt without a license.

Later Friday, he will visit the Pacific Palisades district and will receive a briefing on forest fires that ravaged Los Angeles.

Trump said he believed that North Carolina had been “unfairly” treated by Biden administration after Hurricane Helene, who struck in the middle of the presidential campaign. He declared, without evidence, that the Democrats had refused their aid to the republican areas.

He also indicated that he considered California aid as a lever to obtain the support of Congress Democrats on some of his legislative priorities.
