U.S. President Joe Biden said he would provide more than $60 million in aid to help U.S. territory Puerto Rico, as he visited the island on Monday to survey damages in the aftermath of hurricane Fiona.

The president has pledged the U.S. government's support for Puerto Rico, as well as the states of Florida and South Carolina, which have also been hit hard in recent days by hurricane Ian. Biden will travel to Florida on Wednesday.

"I'm heading to Puerto Rico because they haven't been taken very good care of," Biden told reporters as he left the White House, an apparent reference to how his predecessor, Donald Trump, handled a storm that hit Puerto Rico during his tenure.

Hundreds of thousands of people have struggled without power since Fiona hit Puerto Rico some two weeks ago.

U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm on Sunday said that power had been restored to 90 per cent of customers on the island.
