(250707) -- WASHINGTON, July 7, 2025 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump returns to the White House in Washington, D.C., the United States, July 6, 2025. On July 6, Trump pushed back on criticism that his administration's budget cuts to the nation's weather services had played a role in the deadly floods in Texas.

Up to 80 people have died while more than 40 people remain missing on Sunday, three days after hours of heavy rain led to major flash flooding in the south-central U.S. state of Texas, authorities said Sunday afternoon. (Xinhua/Hu Yousong)
