President Trump Partially Approves Iowa Wind Storm Relief

A surprise windstorm in Iowa caused significant damage, flattening cornfields and destroying grain bins. President Trump approved $45 million for public assistance, but left out substantial funds for individual and farm subsidies. FEMA highlighted these omissions, while Senator Grassley anticipated further approvals. The derecho storm killed three people, damaged a third of Iowa's corn crop, and affected thousands of homes.
