CHICAGO, (APP/AFP) – Republican presidential nominee Donald
Trump visited flood-ravaged Louisiana on Friday, criticizing the US president for not doing the same, as the region grapples with a historic disaster that killed 13 people.
Trump and his vice presidential nominee Mike Pence met with local
Republican leaders and emergency officials, and toured areas that just a
few days ago were inundated with several feet of water.
President Barack Obama meanwhile announced he is headed to Louisiana
on Tuesday, after days of criticism from some in the southern state for not
visiting during the week-long ordeal, which culminated with the Republican
candidate on the ground and the president still on vacation.
