Trump announces he will 'wean off FEMA' — and let governors deal with disasters

President Donald Trump announced a plan to "wean" the United States off the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

During an Oval Office press conference on Tuesday, Trump said that governors would be responsible for providing disaster relief instead of the federal government.

"So we want to wean off of FEMA and we want to bring it down to the state level," the president explained. "A little bit like education, we're moving it back to the states so the governors can handle. That's why they're governors now.
