Trump and lawmakers disagree on FEMA's future

President Trump and lawmakers are clashing over the future of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), with Trump seeking to overhaul or eliminate it. While Trump wants to dismantle FEMA, bipartisan House members are pushing to elevate it to a Cabinet-level agency, separate from the Department of Homeland Security. This effort aims to reform FEMA and improve disaster response, according to a draft bill. This disagreement follows Trump's statements criticizing FEMA's performance and his administration's plans to cut FEMA grants, leading to the ousting of the acting FEMA administrator.
