Trump Denies Disaster Aid to Four Non-Trump States
After months of deliberation, President Trump has denied requests for Major Disaster Declarations for both New York and Rhode Island, following severe winter storms earlier this year. Governor Kathy Hochul of New York expressed disappointment, stating the decision “turns his back on his home state” and pledging an appeal to secure federal assistance for recovery efforts. Rhode Island’s congressional delegation echoed this sentiment, condemning the administration’s inaction and denial of resources for their state’s rebuilding needs.
