As Dorian neared Puerto Rico, Pres. Trump made the false claim that Congress had approved $92 billion for the island after the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria in 2017.
As Dorian neared Puerto Rico, President Donald Trump on Tuesday made the false claim that Congress had approved $92 billion for the island after the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria in 2017.
Wow! Yet another big storm heading to Puerto Rico. Will it ever end? Congress approved 92 Billion Dollars for Puerto Rico last year, an all time record of its kind for"anywhere." One difference in Trump's claim this time is that he said Congress has approved the money for recovery as opposed to Puerto Rico having received the money.
According to The Washington Post, about $14 billion of the money allocated by Congress has reached the island so far.
