Trump arrives in Puerto Rico, praises response to Hurricane Maria

President Donald Trump arrived Puerto Rico

nearly two weeks after the U.S. territory

succumbed to what is the ravages of

Hurricane Maria.

Before leaving, Trump gave his

administration’s hurricane relief efforts in

Texas and Florida an “A+” and said the

federal response in Puerto Rico was “just as

good”.

The trip gives Trump the chance to show

solidarity with survivors and demonstrate

how his government intends to help them

recover after they were hit by the worst

hurricane in 90 years.

But it comes after he lashed out at San

Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz for “poor

leadership” on the weekend after she

criticized his government’s response.
