New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo headed back to Puerto Rico on Thursday for the second time since the U.S. territory was walloped by Hurricane Maria.
Cuomo said he wants to assess the recovery and find out how the state can best help as Puerto Ricans struggle with power outages and shortages more than a month after the destructive storm.
The governor criticized the federal response as well as comments from President Donald Trump, saying rebuilding Puerto Rico will take years and billions of dollars of federal funding.
“When you’re talking about the people of Puerto Rico you’re talking about Americans,” Cuomo said. “And we never talk about leaving Americans in a critical situation. — It’s a long road and there’s a lot of work to do. New York is going to be there.”
He department from John F. Kennedy International Airport Thursday morning and planned to return in the evening.
