"I met with the president of the Virgin Islands," he said. "These are people that are incredible people. They've suffered gravely and we'll be there. We're gonna be there."
Trump, who is himself the president of the U.S. Virgin Islands, was likely referring to his Oct. 3 meeting with territory Gov. Kenneth Mapp.
CNN's Kaitlan Collins noted that the official White House transcript of Trump's remarks corrected "president" to "governor."
