President Donald Trump reveals plans to either fundamentally overhaul or eliminate the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through an executive order. Trump made the announcement during his first trip of his second term, which included stops in North Carolina and California to survey damage from recent natural disasters.
While speaking in North Carolina, Trump criticized FEMA’s response to Tropical Storm Helene, which caused billions of dollars in damage last September. The President described the agency as inefficient and in need of dramatic reform, suggesting that its current structure fails to meet the demands of modern disaster recovery and preparedness. . .
