Trump recommends termination of FEMA before visiting the California fire department

Trump’s first step in this direction may be coming soon: he is ready to sign an executive order, creating a working group for a FEMA review and recommending changes to the agency, the White House press secretary Caroline Levit confirmed to CNBC.

“We will receive the necessary resources and the support you deserve,” he said on Friday in Asheville.
