This is Mr Trump’s third visit in less than three weeks to a hurricane-damaged state.
He visited Texas and Louisiana after Harvey struck.
Mr Trump tweeted on Wednesday that he planned to meet “with our great Coast Guard, Fema and many of the brave first responders & others”.
The president monitored the storm over the weekend from Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland.
