Summary

Disaster survivors in Arkansas were “blocked from receiving federal recovery aid” after Donald Trump denied Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ request for a major disaster declaration.

The Trump administration stated the damage was “not of such severity and magnitude as to be beyond the capabilities of the state.”

Trump signed executive orders to shift disaster recovery responsibility to states, while aiming to eliminate FEMA.

Sanders appealed, writing, “the state and its citizens are in dire need of assistance.” Without federal aid, “volunteer organizations in Arkansas are stepping up” as the state faces “significant challenges” in recovery efforts.

Donald Trump is moving too fast, alienating allies, making Americans poorer, and tarnishing the sterling reputation of US assets, Citadel CEO and founder Ken Griffin said Wednesday.

Though the president may have identified real problems, his methods to solve them don’t appear to be working, and are unlikely to revive American manufacturing, Griffin told Semafor’s Gina Chon at the World Economy Summit in Washington, DC.

Previously, Griffin said, “no brand compared” to US Treasurys, the strength of the US dollar, or the nation’s creditworthiness. But Trump’s tactics have “eroded” that reputation.

Oakridge Park, located in the City of Vancouver, has added 500 Level 2 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to its 28-acre mixed-use project.

The Trump administration denied Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ request for individual and public assistance following an outbreak of severe storms and tornadoes that also affected neighboring Mississippi and Missouri and left more than 40 people dead.

The denial follows executive orders signed by Trump seeking to shift the burden of disaster response and recovery from the federal government onto states, as extreme weather becomes increasingly destructive and costly in a warming world.

The denial of the request, dated April 11, said the Trump administration had “determined that the damage from this event was not of such severity and magnitude as to be beyond the capabilities of the state, affected local governments, and voluntary agencies. Accordingly, we have determined that supplemental federal assistance is not necessary.”

64% of the state voted for Trump.

Hope their bootstraps survived the carnage.
