told Governor Mike Kehoe that Missouri will receive federal funds for severe storms, tornadoes and flooding recovery.
WHITE HOUSE — Donald J.Trump approved $27.6 million in federal disaster aid for Missouri after speaking with Governor Mike Kehoe on a Truth Social post on June 30, 2026 at 4:37 PM EST.
Here is the full post (see truthsocial): “I just spoke with Governor Mike Kehoe, and informed him that the Great State of Missouri has been approved to be given $27.6 Million Dollars in its Disaster Declaration Request for Severe Storms, Tornadoes, and Flooding. Thank you for your attention to this matter! Donald J.Trump”
The $27.6 million will flow to Missouri communities hit by severe storms, tornadoes and flooding. Trump said he spoke directly with Governor Mike Kehoe before making the announcement, calling it a response to the state’s formal disaster declaration request.
Federal disaster declarations allow states to tap emergency funds managed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. A sitting president must approve each request after a governor submits damage assessments showing the disaster exceeds state and local capacity. The aid can cover debris removal, infrastructure repair and direct assistance to affected residents.
Missouri has faced repeated bouts of severe weather in recent months, straining local budgets and emergency services. The approved funds aim to help communities rebuild and restore critical infrastructure damaged by the storms and flooding.
In the last 30 days, 43 of 558 Trump posts on Truth Social addressed the topic of domestic policy, making disaster relief announcements one thread in a broader pattern of executive messaging on the platform.
