During an interview on “The Mayor’s Office” Podcast back in January, Cora admitted that he jumped into meeting Trump because he would prioritize his homeland Puerto Rico. When Red Sox visited the White House in May 2019, Puerto Rico was still recovering from the destruction of Hurricane Maria in 2017, and Cora was not happy with the federal government’s response.
“One of the things that – that’s not what I regret, but I think I should have been more clear – it was a visit to the White House,” Cora said. “I have nothing against the president at that moment. It was Donald Trump the moment President Trump, but I felt celebrating something at the time while [Puerto Ricans] Still suffering, it was bad. I wasn’t good at doing that. ”

Cora says he would have felt “awkward” that celebrated in the White House considering his country’s condition at the time.
“We’re part of the United States,” he added. “What they do for us is astonishing – funding, all this – but there was still work to do. And I felt very awkward, like ‘let’s celebrate this in the White House’, to the right, while many people suffered here. People took it as politics. No. My thing is sport and my family, right?”
