Remarks by President Trump at Briefing on Hurricane Florence Recovery Efforts | Cherry Point, NC | Eastern North Carolina Now

    MS. GOOD: Good.

    THE PRESIDENT: It's doing good?

    MS. GOOD: But still 10 or 12 inches of rain.

    THE PRESIDENT: I love that area. I can't tell you why, but I love that area.

    MS. GOOD: It's very nice. Thank you.

    THE PRESIDENT: It's been really terrific.

    GENERAL O'SHAUGHNESSY: Mr. President.

    THE PRESIDENT: Yes.

    GENERAL O'SHAUGHNESSY: Mr. President, Secretary Mattis gave us very clear direction from the Department of Defense to make sure that we anticipate every need that the states could have so we could help the citizens.

    Governor Cooper's team here was phenomenal to help us understand what exactly those needs were going to be so we could pre-posture and be ready for immediate response. So, hats off to Governor Cooper and the broader team here in North Carolina.

    And also, at FEMA, Brock Long was able to help us coordinate that federal response that was seamlessly tied into the state and local efforts. And I'd like to highlight, Mr. President, that there are 28 different states that have contributed to the National Guard, through the EMACs - the compacts that they have with the state of North Carolina, between North Carolina and South Carolina - and that just shows the strength of the National Guard as well, Mr. President.

    THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Great job, General. Appreciate it.

    Okay. Thank you very much. Let's get back to work.
