President Trump plans to return to Texas on Saturday to visit the other parts of the state that are still reeling in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, the White House confirmed on Tuesday.

"The No. 1 thing after talking to him just a little bit ago that he wanted to re-enforce from today was that this is all about people, making sure that we are taking care of the people of Texas, that is his No. 1 priority," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, per a pool report.

Sanders told reporters earlier in the day that the president intended to wait before visiting other affected areas in the state because he didn't want to disrupt ongoing rescue efforts, ABC News reported.

Trump visited Corpus Christi on Tuesday in a sign of support for the Texans bracing against copious rainfall and deadly flooding from the storm, which made landfall as a category 4 hurricane on Friday.

"We won't say congratulations. We don't want to do that. We don't want to congratulate. We'll congratulate each other when it's all finished," Trump said during his visit.

Trump also claimed during a meeting with Texas officials that the damage and destruction brought by Harvey will be the most "expensive" natural disaster in the country's history.

As the largest natural disaster to wreak havoc in the country since Trump took office, Harvey was seen as one of the president's first big tests as commander in chief.
