U.S. President Donald Trump declared Hurricane Irma a major disaster for the state of Florida Sunday, and ordered federal government officials to make a priority of supplying aid to the worst-hit areas of the country's third most populous state.

“I hope there aren’t too many people in that path,” Trump said. “We tried to warn everybody. That’s a bad path to be in.”

The president spoke outside the White House just after he and first lady Melania Trump returned to Washington from Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland.

Trump held meetings about the federal government's hurricane response earlier in the day, and said there would be more discussions of the weather crisis in the southern United States. Coordination among federal, state and other agencies responding to the hurricane has been proceeding “really well,” the president said, but “the bad news is that this is some big monster.”
