After receiving a briefing on storm preparation efforts for Hurricane Dorian, President Donald Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2019, that emergency officials are "well-prepared." Trump also addressed efforts to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, saying he expects to have 500 miles of wall built by next year. It is unclear how he calculates that number because nearly all of the wall funding allocated by the Trump administration has gone to repairs of existing wall rather than new construction. In response to reporters' questions, the president touted the effects of tariffs on China and said the U.S. will soon stop doing business with the China-based telecom giant Huawei.
The map that President Donald Trump showed in Wednesday's briefing that was meant to forecast Hurricane Dorian's path appears to have an additional black bubble drawn around Alabama. The original map, released by the National Hurricane Center on Aug. 29, did not include the state of Alabama. The president tweeted on Sunday that Alabama would be among a list of states that "will most likely be hit (much) harder than anticipated." In its own tweet that day, the National Weather Service in Birmingham said "no impacts from Hurricane Dorian will be felt across Alabama."
