Trump speaks to Ohio governor after tornadoes

President Trump said Tuesday he spoke with Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) to receive an update on damage from a string of devastating tornadoes that tore across the state.

“My Administration fully supports the people of the great State of Ohio as they begin the cleanup and recovery,” Trump tweeted after speaking to the governor.

.@GovMikeDeWine just updated me on the devastation from the many tornadoes that struck Ohio early this morning. My Administration fully supports the people of the great State of Ohio as they begin the cleanup and recovery.

“Storms overnight across Ohio and many other States were very dangerous and damaging,” Trump wrote. “My team continues to update me with reports from emergency managers in the States affected. Listen to your local officials and be resilient. We are with you!” 

The president sent the message hours after returning to the U.S. from a four-day visit to Japan.
