Trump Accuses Puerto Rico of Using Disaster Funds For Other Debt

Description

According to Reuters, U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday accused Puerto Rico’s politicians of using “massive and ridiculously high amounts of hurricane/disaster funding” to pay off other debt. Over Twitter Trump said that “The U.S. will NOT bail out long outstanding & unpaid obligations with hurricane relief money!" On Tuesday a federal board approved a fiscal reform plan for Puerto Rico, which reduces government spending and takes into account $20 billion in federal disaster relief funds.
