WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House announced on Tuesday that U.S. President Donald Trump would travel to Florida later this week as the administration continues to monitor the damage from Hurricanes Irma and Harvey.

“The president and the entire administration continue to monitor the situation in Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands, Florida, Texas and all areas affected by Hurricanes Irma and Harvey,” White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said in making the announcement.

When he visited Houston he caused the disaster relief team from HEB (local state grocery store) to have to wait longer to bring more relief until after the air space was clear before they could fly over the supplies and drivers.
