President Donald Trump will travel to Texas on Tuesday in response to record flooding from Hurricane Harvey, according to the White House.
“We are coordinating logistics with state and local officials, and once details are finalized, we will let you know,” press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement Sunday afternoon.
She added, “We continue to keep all of those affected in our thoughts and prayers.”
First lady Melania Trump will accompany the president on his trip to Texas, her director of communications, Stephanie Grisham, confirmed today.
The president tweeted Sunday that he plans to visit Texas “as soon as that trip can be made without causing disruption.”
In an interview Sunday on ABC News’ “This Week,” homeland security adviser Tom Bossert elaborated on that tweet, saying Trump “doesn’t want to get in the way” of relief efforts.
