Biden releases Puerto Rico aid funds that Trump blocked for nearly 2 yearsPuerto Rico will finally get to start using billions in relief aid Congress passed in 2017, after the island was hit hard by Hurricane Maria that year.
President Joe Biden's administration approved the release of $1.3 billion in relief funding on Monday that the Trump administration had been blocking and restricting.
Biden approved the release of $1.3 billion in relief funding on Monday, and took restrictions off another $4.9 billion, the New York Times reported.
The newly released funds were part of $20 billion in relief for the island that Congress had allocated to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, as part of a bigger relief package. But just $138 million has been used by the department so far, the New York Times reported. Experts have said Trump's insistence on added regulations and restrictions on funds for Puerto Rico has played a major role.

wanted to intentionally fuck things up. It was just his way.
Everytime there is a Republican administration the Dems have to come in with a shovel afterward.
