Biden and Harris visited North Carolina and Georgia a few days after the storm hit the U.S.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Trump has also made false claims about the administration&#8217;s response to Helene, including that the Federal Emergency Management Agency had no money because it was being used on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/donald-trump\/false-claims-fema-disaster-funds-migrants-pushed-trump-rcna173955\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cillegal migrants.&#8221;<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/donald-trump\/false-claims-fema-disaster-funds-migrants-pushed-trump-rcna173955\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">As NBC News reported last week<\/a>, the former president appears to have been conflating two separate FEMA funds and there&#8217;s no evidence the disaster relief funds were used for anything else.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/tech\/tech-news\/hurricane-helene-disinformation-social-media-public-officials-response-rcna174305\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said in an interview Sunday on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;This Week&#8221;<\/a> that Trump&#8217;s claims were &#8220;frankly ridiculous and just plain false.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/white-house\/biden-heads-carolinas-kamala-harris-georgia-view-hurricane-helene-dama-rcna173520\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">During their visits to hurricane-ravaged areas, <\/a>the president and vice president laid out the steps the administration has been taking to ease the on-the-ground recovery efforts, including deploying Defense Department troops to help local responders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">On Tuesday, Trump continued his denunciation of the administration in a post on Truth Social. &#8220;The worst response to a storm or hurricane disaster in U.S. history \u2014 with another one coming, our country cannot withstand four more years of these incompetent foods. The whole world is laughing at us!!!&#8221; he wrote in all caps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/weather\/map-hurricane-milton-path-forecast-status-track-rcna174203\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hurricane Milton is expected <\/a>to make landfall along the west coast of Florida.

Acting FEMA Associate Administrator Keith Turi said Monday that the agency has \u201cthe resources that we need, both for the Helene response and for Hurricane Milton.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">In Angola, Biden was slated to meet with President Jo\u00e3o Louren\u00e7o to discuss shared priorities and partnerships including climate security, transitioning to clean energy and strengthening democracy and civic engagement, the White House said when it announced the trip last month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The visit, the White House said, \u201ccelebrates the evolution of the U.S.-Angola relationship, underscores the United States\u2019 continued commitment to African partners, and demonstrates how collaborating to solve shared challenges delivers for the people of the United States and across the African continent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"endmark\">A spokesperson for the German government said of the postponement, \u201cWe very much regret the cancellation, but of course we understand given the situation in Florida.
