During an interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity on Wednesday, Trump said he plans to have a “big discussion very shortly” on the agency because he’d rather see the states handle their own problems.
The president also said FEMA has not done its job for the last four years and gets in the way.
Trump cited the agency’s response to the devastating hurricane in North Carolina last year.
“I love Oklahoma, but you know what?” he asked. “If they get hit with a tornado or something, let Oklahoma fix it. … and then the federal government can help them out with the money. FEMA is getting in the way of everything, and the Democrats actually use FEMA not to help North Carolina.”
The president plans to visit North Carolina on Friday to monitor recovery efforts.
