US President Donald Trump described floods in Texas on Sunday (local time) as a “devastation of 100 years” and said he was likely to visit the state on Friday. He said that the administration is working in close coordination with local representatives to manage the situation.
“Everyone in Texas will live there, and we are working very closely, representing us from Texas,” Trump said during a media interaction at Morristown Municipal Airport. “And this is a terrible thing at this place, absolutely terrible. So we say, God blesss all people who have passed many, and God blesses, God bless the position of Texas.”
On federal relief, Trump said, “FEMA is something that we can talk about later, but now they are busy working, so we will leave it to it.”
The President said that letters related to trade deals will start going out on Monday. “We are going to send letters on Monday, to do with business deals. It can be 12, maybe 15, you know, the Commerce Secretary here, here, I think I would say Howard will probably be as much as it can be.
On the political front, Trump dismissed the news of the third party launching the third party. “I think it’s ridiculous to start a third party. Adds to the confusion.
Regarding the visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump said, “We are working on a lot of things with Israel, and one of the things is probably a permanent deal with Iran. They have to leave all the things that you know well that the attack took place, according to every nuclear power commission, it was a complete and total.”
On the development of Gaza, Trump said that a deal that includes the remaining hostages organized by Hamas can be finalized this week. “I think we are close to a deal on Gaza. This week can happen. I think there is a good opportunity that we have a deal with Hamas during the week that is a lot related to a lot of hostages. You know, we have excluded a lot of hostages, but the remaining bodies are related, much, we think we will do this this week.”
He said that most countries would probably get trade deal letters or agreements by July 9. “I think we will have most countries made till 9 July, either a letter or a deal.” “Tariffs become effective from August 1, but the presidents are setting rates and deals,” said CEO Hoved Lutnik, CEO of Cantor Fitzzerld.
Addressing concerns over the federal agency employees, Trump said, “You look at the situation that was really a biden setup. It was not our setup, but I will not blame Biden for it. I would just say that it is 100 years of destruction, and it is very terrible for all.”
At the time of his visit to Texas, the President said, “Perhaps on Friday. We wanted to leave a little time. I must have done this today, but we will just be in their way, maybe Friday.”
Trump also commented on the decision of the DC City Council about a new stadium for commanders. “We will see what happens. I am looking at this deal, and I do not claim that they have a very important piece of property, a big piece of property. So we will see that if I can help them you know.
He said that he would not have changed the name of the team. “You want me to make a controversial statement? I would not have changed the name. It’s not a single ring for me. But you know, winning everything can be good. So if they win, suddenly, the commander feels good, but I wouldn’t change the name.”
On his recent call with Ukrainian President Volodimare Zelanski, Trump said, “I felt that it’s a good call. He is being hit very hard. As I said, he is very difficult to hit.” He said, “I was very disappointed with my phone with President Putin. I was very disappointed.” (AI)
