Trump Pledges Support After Texas Flood Disaster

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump visited central Texas to assess the devastation from flash floods that have killed at least 120 people, including dozens of children, and left over 170 missing, particularly in Kerr County and along the Guadalupe River. Meeting with local officials, emergency responders, and victims' families, Trump received briefings on the destruction and pledged federal support, including the expansion of FEMA assistance to more counties. The disaster has sparked scrutiny over the adequacy of local warning systems and criticisms of the Trump administration's plans to reduce or eliminate FEMA. Despite these plans, Trump praised the federal response and called for improved flood warning systems. Search and rescue operations continue, with the death toll expected to rise as teams search for the missing. The scale of the flooding has triggered bipartisan discussions on the future of federal emergency management and the need for reforms.
