Trump Approves Disaster Request For Arthur

President Donald Trump last week approved Louisiana’s request for $8.6 million in federal aid for the damage caused by Tropical Storm Arthur last month.

The storm dumped record rainfall on Avoyelles Parish and the surrounding areas, causing widespread flooding. It also generated numerous tornadoes across southeast Louisiana.

In a post on Truth Social announcing he had approved Gov. Jeff Landry’s request for federal funding, Trump praised Louisi- “Louisiana is truly a special place, with Governor Jeff Landry, Senator John Kennedy, soon to be Senator Julia Letlow, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, and Congressman Clay Higgins,” he said.
