JORGE RAMOS, HOST, AL PUNTO, UNIVISION:  When President Trump says that the real catastrophe was what happenned in Katrina and not in Puerto Rico, why did you not defend the Puerto Ricans? Why didn't you tell him, 'Mr. President, that is not correct?' For many, you are very subservient.

RICARDO ''RICKY'' ROSSELLO, GOVERNOR OF PUERTO RICO: Well, because he didn't say that the real catastrophe was one, and not in Puerto Rico. He spoke of the Katrina catastrophe, right, and what we have always asked the President, after expressions or a twitter issue, is clarity. Does the President recognize that this is a disaster? Yes. I flew over the island with him and he could see that there are hundreds of thousands of homes in Puerto Rico that are destroyed, and he recognized that in the conversations we had and afterwards.
