Trump requests Congress over $7.85 billion to hurricane consequences
Sat Sep 02, 2017 2:49 pm
US President Donald Trump asks Congress to allocate $ 7.85 billion for the destruction of the devastating hurricane Harvey.
This was reported by Reuters.
The money should be transferred to the federal fund for the disaster management, and another 450 million is intended for small business loans.
Earlier, Trump was expected to ask for the first aid only in the amount of 5.95 billion dollars. The US administration intends to provide assistance to affected regions in several stages, as long as it is only possible to estimate approximately the size of the damage caused.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has previously said that only his state will need to recover over $ 125 billion.
On September 2, Donald Trump arrives in Houston, which caused the most severe damage caused by a hurricane flood. There he will meet the victims and volunteers, and then go to Louisiana.
Previously, it was reported that about 100,000 homes were damaged in the United States from the Harvey hurricane.
