President Donald Trump said he will "probably" travel to Texas on Friday to view damage from the flash floods that swept the state over the July 4 weekend. Speaking to reporters in Bedminster, New Jersey, the president called the disaster a "horrible thing" and said he has been in regular contact with Governor Greg Abbott as rescue and recovery efforts continue.

The floods, triggered by torrential rainfall, have killed at least 78 people and left dozens unaccounted for, according to state and local officials. When asked whether the catastrophe might affect his administration’s stated intention to phase out the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Trump replied, "That’s something we can talk about later," adding that FEMA remains focused on the current emergency.
