Trump Plans to Wind Down FEMA After Hurricane Season
In a contentious move, Trump has announced his intention to phase out the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) following the current hurricane season, sparking concerns among governors and disaster relief advocates. Trump argued that states should be capable of managing disasters independently, suggesting they would receive less federal aid moving forward. This controversial decision has drawn significant criticism, particularly from those who fear it will leave states vulnerable during emergencies. The proposal aims to implement changes that could limit the federal funding allocated to disaster relief, raising questions about the future efficacy of emergency management in the U.S.
