Mexico said Wednesday it will send humanitarian aid
to Puerto Rico to help the island recover from Hurricane Maria, a disaster
that US President Donald Trump has been accused of minimizing.
bloomberg.comThe Mexican foreign ministry said
it would send about 30 tonnes of bottled water, insect
repellant and other supplies to help the US territory, where the monster storm made landfall on September 20,
leaving more than 30 people dead and thousands homeless.
Mexico will also send a team of specialists to help restore electricity to some 93 percent of the island left
without power by the hurricane, it said.
US-Mexican relations have been strained since
Trump came to power in January after a campaign laced with anti-Mexican rhetoric,
including a promise to make Mexico pay for a wall on the
border.
Mexico's aid shipment comes as
the country recovers from its own disasters -- earthquakes on September 7 and
19 that caused an estimated $2 billion in damages.
Mexico also offered aid to the United States after Hurricane Harvey ravaged
Texas last month. But US authorities were slow to accept,
and after the September 7 earthquake Mexico revoked the offer,
saying it had to concentrate on the relief
effort at home.
