President Trump is visiting the Carolinas to survey damage left behind by Hurricane Florence, while some areas begin recovery and others face the threat of flooding.
During a roundtable in North Carolina Wednesday, the president gave his deepest condolences to families of the victims killed in the storm. He said all Americans are grieving… and will never forget their loss.
The president also expressed his gratitude to first responders and applauded their continued efforts to rescue those trapped in flood waters.

President Trump said he — and all of America — stands with North Carolina and will be there 100-percent.
The president called Florence one of the most powerful storms to hit the nation, adding, his administration is committed to providing the federal assistance needed to ensure a speedy recovery.
At least 37 people died in the storm, while many still remain without power. Some areas are still on on high alert due to the ongoing threat of flooding as rivers and lakes crest.
