TEXAS, USA — President Donald Trump said Sunday that he expects to visit Texas this week after deadly floods left at least 82 dead and dozens more missing across the state.

Trump told reporters Sunday that he will "probably" visit the Lone Star State on Friday. "We wanted to leave a little time. I wanted to do it today, but we'd just be in their way. Probably Friday," Trump said.

State officials announced Sunday that at least 82 were killed in the floods and dozens more were confirmed to be unaccounted for across the state. Trump's comments came after he signed a major disaster declaration on Sunday for hard-hit Kerr County to make federal funding available for those impacted.

"These families are enduring an unimaginable tragedy, with many lives lost, and many still missing," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "The Trump Administration continues to work closely with State and Local Leaders. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was on the ground yesterday with Governor Greg Abbott, who is working hard to help the people of his Great State." The assistance can include grants for housing and home repairs, among other things.
