Hurricane Milton's advance in southeastern USA has caused damages for 50 billion dollars – approximately 518 billion kronor. This was stated by President Joe Biden after a meeting on Friday evening with the government and disaster authorities.

The reports on the number of confirmed deaths vary between 9 and 16 people in connection with the storm sweeping across the state of Florida.

The President also took the opportunity to once again direct criticism at the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. The reason is the incorrect information that Trump has spread about federal aid in the USA.

I believe that those who have spread these lies to undermine opponents will pay a price for it, said Biden and added about Trump that he has "the biggest mouth".

Trump's party colleague, the Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, warned Floridians not to believe that the danger is over due to fallen power lines, flooded areas – and disaster tourism.

Now we are in a phase where we can avoid fatalities, said DeSantis.
