川普總統週二前往波多黎各視察災情

U.S. President Donald Trump travels Tuesday to Puerto Rico to check on recovery efforts in the U.S. territory after it was hit by a powerful hurricane.

Trump's schedule includes meetings with Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello, military personnel and people impacted by the storm. He is also due to hold talks with Governor Kenneth Mapp of the U.S. Virgin Islands, which were also hit by Hurricane Maria last week.

Trump has faced criticism for his administration's response to the hurricane that knocked out power to Most of Puerto Rico and left many people without running water, fuel for generators or cell phone service.

About two weeks since the storm hit, Governor Rossello said water service has been restored to about half of customers and that he hopes 25 percent of people will have electricity by the end of October.

Trump has defended the federal government's efforts, and said Monday a "tremendous" amount of food and supplies have been sent to Puerto Rico.

"It’s been amazing what’s been done in a very short period of time on Puerto Rico," he told reporters at the White House.美國總統川普星期二前往波多黎各視察猛烈颶風襲擊後那裏的重建進展。

川普計劃會見波多黎各總督羅賽略、軍人以及受到颶風災害的民衆。他還計劃與美屬維京羣島的總督邁普會談。瑪利亞颶風上星期席捲了維京羣島。

川普受到一些批評，說他的政府對颶風災害反應不力。颶風切斷了波多黎各幾乎所有電力供應，很多居民斷水，缺乏發電機所需的燃油，移動電話服務也中斷。

颶風襲擊兩星期之後，波多黎各總督羅塞略說，大約一半人的供水得以恢復，他希望10月底之前能恢復對四分之一居民的供電。

川普總統爲聯邦政府的救災努力辯護。他星期一說，無數的食品和物資送到了波多黎各。

他在白宮對記者說，在短短的時間裏做了如此多的工作，實在令人讚歎。
