President Trump on Saturday approved emergency declarations for South Carolina and Virginia as a major winter storm approaches those states.

"I have approved Emergency Declarations for the Historic Winter Storms headed to the Great State of South Carolina and the Commonwealth of Virginia," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

"With the help of FEMA and our State partners, we will keep everyone safe, and make sure both States have the support they need. We will continue to monitor, and stay in touch with all States in the path of this storm," he added.
