President Trump said Thursday he had approved millions of dollars in funding for storm recovery efforts across multiple states, including in North Carolina, where residents are still dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

Trump posted the announcements on Truth Social, saying he had spoken with lawmakers in each state.

The president said he had approved nearly $32 million in aid for North Carolina in response to flooding in July which was caused by Tropical Depression Chantal. Trump cited asks from Sen. Ted Budd (R-N.C.), Senate candidate Michael Whatley (R) and Republicans. Trump said he had informed Democratic Gov. Josh Stein of the move.

Budd in particular has been critical of the Trump administration for the pace of funds released to help recover from Hurricane Helen, which devastated parts of North Carolina last year. Budd had said he would stall nominees for the Department of Homeland Security until the issue was addressed.

Trump on Thursday also announced nearly $30 million in funding for Wisconsin to help recover from major storms and flooding in August. Trump said the approval came after a conversation with Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.). Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) had requested a presidential disaster declaration in late August.

Vice President Vance traveled to Wisconsin in August, where multiple reporters pressed him on why the administration had yet to approve the state’s request for a disaster declaration to aid with recovery after massive flooding in the Milwaukee area.

Trump also announced Thursday that he had approved $5.7 million to aid Kansas with recovery from severe storms and tornadoes that hit the state, as well as $500,000 for the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate Tribe in South Dakota after flooding earlier this year.

An Associated Press analysis published Tuesday found the Trump administration is taking more than a month on average to approve disaster declarations, which provide added federal assistance for states recovering from storms or other natural disasters. The news outlet found it typically took less than two weeks for a disaster declaration to be granted in the 1990s and early 2000s.
