President Trump will visit hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico next week to get a firsthand look at the “devastated” island, he told reporters Tuesday morning.
Trump, who has faced mounting questions about his commitment to the recovery of the U.S. territory, said next Tuesday will be the earliest that he can visit the island because of logistical issues.
“It's the earliest I can go because of the first responders, and we don’t want to disrupt the relief efforts,” Trump said at the outset of a White House meeting on tax reform with Republican and Democratic lawmakers.
