Answer: Due to delays in government assistance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mayor of San Juan, the capital, criticized President Donald Trump. The reason is that he did not point out to the president in the public appearances that he was sorry for the events in Puerto Rico.

Some critics of Donald Trump also point out that the president has expressed greater concern for residents of Texas and Florida at a time when these areas were hit by natural disasters.

Trump was criticized for bragging about the help the government provided to Puerto Rico in the aftermath of the hurricane. Authorities in Puerto Rico also complained that assistance was slow to arrive.
