Donald Trump made headlines by announcing the deployment of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to North Carolina to help repair damage from Hurricane Helene. This move came after residents criticized the slow federal response under President Biden’s administration. Trump promised swift action, emphasizing that his team would step in to help where Biden’s had fallen short.
The Army Corps of Engineers will focus on repairing infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, and levees, while Trump also vowed to overhaul FEMA’s disaster response and provide more financial aid to affected communities. His quick action contrasts with the delayed response many residents felt from the Biden administration.
Trump’s leadership is being welcomed by locals who had grown frustrated with the lack of timely assistance. The focus is now on long-term rebuilding, with a renewed sense of hope for the affected regions.
The recovery effort now has a clearer direction, leaving many to question whether President Biden will take stronger action or if Trump will continue to lead the charge.
