(ANSA) - NEW YORK, FEBRUARY 20 - President Joe Biden approves the declaration of maximum emergency for Texas, where the great cold has sent the state power grid into a tailspin, leaving millions of people in the dark and depriving them of drinking water. The declaration allows the state to access federal resources.
"Biden said a major disaster exists in Texas and has ordered federal assistance" to aid the efforts of local authorities in bad weather areas, a White House statement said. (HANDLE).
