President Trump and First Lady Melania Visit Disaster-Stricken North Carolina and California

The Trumps embark on their first official trip of the new term to survey hurricane and wildfire recovery efforts.

President Trump and First Lady Melania departed the White House for their first official trip since his second inauguration earlier this week.
The couple traveled to North Carolina to assess recovery efforts following Hurricane Helene, which devastated the area four months ago.
Trump criticized the delayed federal response to the hurricane's aftermath, pledging to address the ongoing issues during his visit.
Following their North Carolina stop, the Trumps are scheduled to visit Los Angeles to inspect wildfire damage and meet with local officials, including Governor Gavin Newsom.
The trip will conclude in Las Vegas, where Trump is set to hold a rally on Saturday evening.
