US President Donald Trump has praised the relief response to Hurricane Harvey on his second visit to flood-stricken Texas. “Things are working out well,” he said of the efforts, as he and wife Melania met victims and volunteers.
“As tough as this was, it’s been a wonderful thing,” he added. “I think even for the country to watch and for the world to watch.” Some residents have been allowed to return to their homes but flood waters are still rising in other areas. Harvey has been blamed for at least 47 deaths, and about 43,000 people are currently housed in shelters.
President Trump and the first lady visited Texas earlier in the week but stayed clear of the disaster zone, saying they did not want to divert resources from rescue work.
