Politico reports Wednesday that Trump blocked aid to New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New York after regional FEMA offices and NOAA determined that all four states met the requirements for receiving aid due to a record-breaking blizzard in February.
“I can’t think of a time a declaration was denied” for a state that met FEMA and NOAA standards, a former FEMA official anonymously told Politico.
The four states who requested aid this year were seeking $227 million in assistance altogether to take on unexpected snow removal costs.
Trump handles disaster requests “with great care” to ensure state aid is used “to supplement—not substitute, their obligation to respond to and recover from disasters,” Jackson added.
But earlier this month, Trump administration officials admitted in court that the White House has deliberately canceled clean energy funding to states that didn’t vote for him in the 2024 presidential election. The president has also withheld childcare funding to blue states. Trump doesn’t seem to believe he has an obligation to help citizens of the U.S. under his charge if he perceives a slight against him.
