Watch: Trump delivers remarks during visit to western North Carolina

President Trump is set to deliver remarks Friday in hurricane-hit western North Carolina, after ripping the Biden administration’s handling of the disaster throughout the final stretch of his campaign.

It will be Trump's first trip outside Washington since his inauguration Monday. Trump previously visited western North Carolina in October, shortly after Hurricane Helene shattered much of the region.

Trump mentioned the destruction in North Carolina during his inauguration speech.

“Our country can no longer deliver basic services in times of emergency, as recently shown by the wonderful people of North Carolina, who’ve been treated so badly,” he said. “And other states that are still suffering from a hurricane that took place many months ago.”

Remarks are set to start at 11 a.m. EST.
