WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump will not visit Northeast Ohio this week, Ohio members of Congress have been told.
The White House put out an advisory last week last that indicated Trump would visit Vienna, Ohio on Thursday to sign a bill and deliver a speech. The White House has not indicated why the planned visit was scrapped.
President Donald Trump to visit Trumbull County next week to sign bill
The Vindicator of Youngstown had reported Saturday that Trump would visit Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport in Trumbull County to sign a bill that reversed an Obama Administration “Stream Protection Rule” intended to keep coal mines from dumping waste into streams.
The newspaper – and other media outlets – now report that the 910th Airlift Wing at the Youngstown Air Reserve Station attached to the airport said the trip is off.
Trump visited Ohio more than a dozen times during his presidential campaign. The state’s voters backed him by a 51.7 percent margin, compared with a 43.6 percent tally for Democrat Hillary Clinton. Trump’s first stop on a December “Thank You tour” to thank his campaign supporters was in Ohio.
