7:45 a.m.
President Donald Trump is lashing out at the mayor of Puerto Rico’s capital city in a war of words over recovery efforts after Hurricane Maria smashed into the U.S. territory.
Trump is out with a series of tweets criticizing San Juan Carmen Yulin Cruz for criticizing the Trump administration’s hurricane response. The major has accused his administration of “killing us with the inefficiency.”
The president is responding by citing what he calls “such poor leadership ability by the Mayor of San Juan, and others in Puerto Rico, who are not able to get their workers to help.”
