(NewsNation) — President Donald Trump starts his first cross-country tour of his second term on Friday, visiting disaster areas in North Carolina and California before heading to Nevada on Saturday for a meet.
The move comes as Trump considers overhauling the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), floating the idea that he’d rather see states deal with their “own problems”.
Friday’s focus is on two major disaster zones.
Trump’s first stop is North Carolina, a state he visited in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene while still campaigning for the White House.
He returns as he renews his criticism of the Biden administration, accusing it and FEMA of abandoning North Carolina, which still faces more than $50 billion in damages.
After the Tar Heel State, Trump will head to California, where wildfires continue to burn and first responders are working to contain the flames.
On Saturday, his trip to Nevada will strike a different note as he thanks voters for giving him his first win in the state. He is expected to highlight his “no tax on tips” campaign promises.
