Even as Puerto Rico continues to struggle in its recovery from a deadly hurricane that struck in 2017, Donald Trump reportedly said he doesn’t want a “single dollar” going to the island.

According to The Washington Post, “[A]t an Oval Office meeting on Feb. 22, Trump asked top advisers for ways to limit federal support from going to Puerto Rico, believing it is taking money that should be going to the mainland, according to senior administration officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share details of the president’s private remarks.”

“He doesn’t want another single dollar going to the island,” said a senior administration official, according to the report.

Trump’s refusal to send more money comes as Puerto Rico is fighting “a new crisis,” as reported by The Washington Post:

The Casa Ismael clinic is short on funds in part because of cuts in food stamps that hit about 1.3 million residents of Puerto Rico this month — a new crisis for an island still struggling from the effects of Hurricane Maria in September 2017.
…

Puerto Rico’s government first started cutting benefits for food-stamp beneficiaries by an average of 25 percent during the first week of March. By March 12, more than 670,000 people had received reduced monthly food-stamp payments. The cuts were in effect for the entire program by Friday.

Congressional lawmakers knew of the deadlines for months. In January, House Democrats approved $600 million in additional food-stamp funding to finance the program until the fall, but the bill immediately stalled in the Senate, with the Trump administration releasing a letter calling the additional food-stamp aid “excessive and unnecessary.”
