President Trump disputes Puerto Rico hurricane death toll

US President Donald Trump is disputing that nearly 3,000 people died in Puerto Rico after the island was hit by two hurricanes last year.

According to BBC news "3000 people did not die in the two hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico," Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter, without offering evidence for the claim.

The official figure was released last month after an independent study.

On Thursday, Mr. Trump wrote in a pair of tweets that Democrats were attacking him "when I was successfully raising Billions of Dollars to help rebuild Puerto Rico".
