I haven't heard anything this time around, but it is pointless for them to do so, anyways. Each time a country offers assistance to the US, it is turned away unless it is a very specialized team of people that perform a needed, critical function (collapsed building techs from Canada, etc) or specialized equipment the US does not have (remote controlled, people-seeking robots for finding people in rubble, etc).

And while it would be a nice gesture, offering financial aid to the wealthiest nation on the planet during a crisis it can clearly handle (or it thinks it can) is pointless.
