President Joe Biden promised to ensure that the US territory of Puerto Rico receives sufficient resources to repair the damage wrought on the island by Hurricane Ian and rebuild its’ infrastructure to be far more resilient in the face of future disasters.
Speaking at port facilities in Ponce, Puerto Rico, Mr Biden said he and first lady Jill Biden have had the island “on our minds and in our prayers” in recent days following Ian, which is the latest of numerous severe hurricanes to devastate Puerto Rico’s infrastructure with high winds and floodwaters.
