Ohio train derailment: Trump visits East Palestine, says FEMA "changed their tune" on federal aid

Former U.S. president Donald Trump arrived in Ohio on Wednesday, where he visited East Palestine, which was the site of a toxic train derailment.

Trump and other Republicans have been critical of the Biden administration’s response to the Feb. 3 crash of a Norfolk Southern-operated train loaded with toxic chemicals.

"Biden and FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) said they would not send federal aid to East Palestine under any circumstance — they're not going to send aid. I thought that was a strange statement because I've been working with FEMA for a long time — four years — and they were great with us," Trump said.

"FEMA said, specifically, this doesn't meet the criteria," Trump added. "When I announced that I was coming they changed their tune."
