The White House said that in Houston, Trump will meet with flood survivors and volunteers who assisted in relief efforts, and then move on to Lake Charles, another area hammered by the storm. U.S. President Donald Trump participates in a briefing on Harvey relief efforts in Corpus Christi, Texas, on Tuesday. Trump pledges exceed donations, says reportTrump has pledged $1 million from his own money toward Harvey relief. Harvey came on the 12th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which killed about 1,800 around New Orleans.
