Governor Wanda Vázquez speaks directly with President Donald Trump

The governor Wanda Vázquez Garced spoke today, Friday, directly with the president Donald Trump, who, according to the first executive, expressed her support for the emergency that the island is going through after the earthquakes recorded last days.

The conversation occurred by intervention of the Republican senator from Florida Rick Scott, who toured with the president and the commissioner resident in Washington D.C., Jenniffer González, some of the municipalities most affected by the intense seismic activity.

“Thanks to Senator Scott, I just had a call with Mr. President Donald Trump personally, who has expressed his support for Puerto Rico and we have expressed the support of our people for the rapid action, not only of the initial declaration but of that declaration that we are going to request about a major disaster ”, the governor said after completing a tour of the Costa Sur plant in Guayanilla, which suffered severe damage from the earthquake on Tuesday.

Likewise, Vázquez Garced was accompanied by the executive director of the Electric Power Authority, José Ortiz, and other agency heads.

During the press conference, it was reported that PREPA has allegedly recovered up to 80% of its generation capacity.
