by mail@democracynow.org (Democracy Now!) from Democracy Now! on (#346JG)
We get response from Puerto Rican-born Rep. Nydia Velizquez (D-NY) to President Trump's visit to the island two weeks after Hurricane Maria, and his comments that he would help the U.S. territory wipe out its $73 billion debt to help it recover from the extensive damage caused by Hurricane Maria. White House budget director Mick Mulvaney later walked back the remarks.
