Trump has spent years blasting Puerto Rican officials while opposing spending to rebuild a power grid and other infrastructure that was wiped out by Hurricane Maria in 2017.

Not a single repair or rebuilding job has been completed under a government program meant to repair and rebuild damaged homes.

Puerto Rico's governor said she had ordered an investigation after learning the emergency supplies had been piled in the warehouse since Hurricane Maria battered Puerto Rico in September 2017.

Last year, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to divert disaster-recovery funds from Puerto Rico to help pay for a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Spanning the globe, some stories were expected while others caught the world off guard. Some, including the Rohingya exodus, Arab Spring, BP oil spill and the melting of glaciers so massive they were visible from space through the satellite imagery of Maxar Technologies.

In one of her first moves as governor, she suspended a pending contract that is part of the program to rebuild and strengthen the island's power grid.

“Puerto Rico has been taken better care of by Donald Trump than by any living human being,” Trump told reporters at the White House before leaving for a rally in Michigan.

One year since Hurricane Maria killed over 3,000 in Puerto Rico, activists marched to Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago property to protest the U.S.'s response to the disaster.

Long suggested that a George Washington University study — which concluded that nearly 3,000 people died in Puerto Rico as a result of the 2017 hurricane — may have contained misleading numbers. 

The U.S. president expressed disbelief on Twitter on how the Puerto Rico death toll rose so quickly to 3,000 deaths in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.
