Trump Visits Hurricane-Devastated North Carolina, Pledges Faster Recovery Efforts

President Trump criticizes FEMA's response to Hurricane Helene and announces measures to accelerate aid and rebuilding in affected regions.

President Donald Trump visited western North Carolina to meet with Hurricane Helene survivors and assess ongoing recovery challenges.
Trump criticized FEMA's bureaucratic inefficiencies and signed an executive order to streamline disaster recovery processes, including infrastructure rebuilding.
Over 100 days after the hurricane, many residents remain in temporary housing, with significant needs for permanent shelter and essential resources during the winter months.
Local and national charities, including Samaritan's Purse and Emergency RV, have played a critical role in providing aid, with over 100 RVs donated to displaced families.
The hurricane caused over 230 deaths across six states and billions in damages, with survivors expressing frustration over delayed federal assistance under the previous administration.
