Trump returns to White House amid hurricane recovery - The Hill

President Trump returned to the White House on Sunday afternoon as the federal government responds to the tropical storm that is continuing to batter the Texas coast.

Trump, along with first lady Melania Trump and their son, Barron, returned to the White House from Camp David just after 4 p.m., per pool reports.

The first family’s return comes as the White House confirmed that Trump will visit Texas on Tuesday.

“The President will travel to Texas on Tuesday. We are coordinating logistics with state and local officials, and once details are finalized, we will let you know. We continue to keep all of those affected in our thoughts and prayers,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement.

The storm, which first made landfall Friday as a Category 4 hurricane, has reportedly killed five people.

Brock Long, the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), said Sunday that the agency is preparing “for years” of recovery in Texas.
