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.
"We want to wean off of FEMA, and we want to bring it down to the state level," Trump told reporters during a briefing in the Oval Office, later saying, "A governor should be able to handle it, and frankly, if they can't handle it, the aftermath, then maybe they shouldn't be governor."
