Puerto Rico: Trump administration gave job of delivering 30 million meals to small contractor who delivered just 50,000

The Trump administration tasked a small, inexperienced contractor with delivering 30m meals to Puerto Ricans affected by Hurricane Maria, according to a new report. When Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico in late last September, it demolished homes, destroyed the electricity system and left millions of people dependent on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for food and water. On 3 October, FEMA signed a $156m contract with self-described “serial entrepreneur” Tiffany Brown to deliver millions of meals to the island, according to the New York Times.
