Nepal floods LIVE: US President Donald Trump said the US has offered Nepal "any help that they need" after devastating flash floods. Trump said the US had spoken to Nepal's leadership and was ready to provide whatever assistance was needed. He described the destruction as something "nobody's ever seen anything quite like that."

"We've called Nepal, and we've offered any help that they need. And we have a very good relationship with Nepal, and that was a brutal... that wasn't just... that was mud and water. It's a mixture that nobody's ever seen anything quite like that, where very powerful, strong, you know, strong, well-built buildings were wiped out like they were toothpicks," Trump said.

"It's a terrible thing. No, we are sending aid, and we've spoken to the leadership, and we let them know anything they want, we'll have," he added.

The US State Department said 90 Americans are reported missing following the floods. Trump said about 50-60 Americans were believed to be in the affected areas but the US had not received a complete list.

The US has announced $500,000 in emergency assistance for affected communities.
