Donald Trump has responded decisively to Hurricane Helene’s devastation in North Carolina by deploying the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to assist in recovery efforts. The storm caused severe flooding, damaging roads, bridges, and riverbanks, leaving many communities isolated.
Trump emphasized federal support, stating, “The people of North Carolina are resilient, but they shouldn’t have to face this challenge alone.” Governor James Marshall welcomed the move, citing the Corps’ expertise as essential for rebuilding efforts.Local residents expressed relief, while experts urged long-term, sustainable solutions to mitigate future disasters. The response also carries political implications, potentially bolstering Trump’s support. Despite concerns over costs, Trump assured responsible funding. Recovery efforts are now underway, with hopes of restoring normalcy soon.
