President Donald Trump is planning to phase out the Federal Emergency Management Agency after this year's hurricane season. On Tuesday, he said he wants to bring FEMA down to the state level and let governors handle it.

Trump added that the federal government will start distributing less federal aid for disaster recovery.

"We're going to give out less money. We're going to give it out directly. It'll be from the president's office. We'll have somebody here; could be Homeland Security, but we're going to give it out through a method," President Trump said.

He added that if a state's governor cannot handle a disaster, "Maybe they shouldn't be governor."
