| Puerto Rico receiving aid from military men of the U.S. |
President Trump complained in a private lunch on Tuesday with the Senate Republicans about how Puerto Rico has received too much aid. The aid for Puerto Rico has been a fixation for Trump. He has also stated that he would not support anymore of the aid of food and stamp funds. Senator Lindsey Graham described Trump talking as if he had a "new cleanse on life."
Trump then noted to the GOP senators that Texas was awarded $29 billion in aid and South Carolina got $1.5 billion to recover from their storm and hurricane weather. Then he questioned why Puerto Rico was getting $91 billion of aid. One of the Congressional officials said that its difficult to quantify exactly how much aid the island has received to recover from Hurricane Maria because of the way money is disbursed.

ReplyDeleteI believe that Puerto Rico is getting more aid than the US states because Puerto Rico can't fully support themselves after the natural disaster while the US has the ability to support more of ourselves, which is why we received less money than Puerto Rico.
ReplyDeleteI do think that Puerto Rico is receiving more aid than the US because they need it more to help them. I also think that Trump will stop aiding Puerto Rico.
ReplyDeleteI do consider that Puerto Rico is receiving most of the aid than the US since they're in need of more help from the state. They, as well, need it for serious cases such as for natural disasters or other severe causes.
