Rational Radio Daily With Steele And Ungar

Early this morning, President Trump tweeted, “We cannot keep FEMA, the Military & the First Responders, who have been amazing (under the most difficult circumstances) in P.R. [Puerto Rico] forever!” The president was roundly criticized for his comments, which stood in stark contrast to his messages of support for Houston, Florida and other states ravaged by hurricanes. Politico national security reporter Jacqueline Klimas, who has spent time reporting on the ground from Puerto Rico, discusses why the president’s threat to withdraw aid would be catastrophic for Puerto Rico and could have lasting political implications. Mark Feierstein, a former senior director on the National Security Council, makes the case for why the U.S. should be strengthening its relationship with Cuba, not abandoning it.
