President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he plans to phase out the Federal Emergency Management Agency after this year’s hurricane season, offering the clearest timeline yet for his administration’s long-term plans to dismantle the disaster relief agency and shift responsibility for response and recovery onto states.

During Tuesday's press conference, President Donald Trump said FEMA money will be given to the states for disaster relief.

In remarks to reporters, the president said the administration plans to “wean” states off FEMA assistance after hurricane season ends.
