Caribbean singer Rihanna is adding her voice to the chorus of people calling on Trump to send more aid to the island.
On Wednesday she tweeted a CBS News video at the president, which detailed the devastation suffered there.

Then, on Thursday, she directed him to Wednesday's New York Daily News front page about the disaster.
"Don't let your people die like this," she wrote.
Dear @realDonaldTrump I know you've probably already seen this, but I just wanted to make sure!
Don't let your people die like this.pic.twitter.com/mDO848JAUx

She also praised the five former presidents who on Monday launched a joint effort to raise funds to benefit the U.S. territory.
Round of APPLAUSE to these gentlemen for taking control of this devastating situation!!!#CaribbeanGirl #OneLove https://t.co/vTeuPwOvEV

Though he secured billions in funding for relief in Texas and Florida, Trump has yet to ask Congress for a disaster relief package that would benefit Puerto Rico.
On Thursday, after almost a week of pressure to do so, he waived the Jones Act, a shipping law that's hindered Puerto Rico's ability to receive aid.
At @ricardorossello request, @POTUS has authorized the Jones Act be waived for Puerto Rico. It will go into effect immediately.
