President Donald Trump will visit Northeast Pennsylvania on Tuesday for the first time since his election last year, a White House official confirmed Thursday.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, had no details on where or what time the president will speak.
Trump will talk about his administration’s progress in improving the American economy, the official said.
“He’s talking about how he and the administration are continuing to focus on issues like ending the inflation crisis and affordability,” the official said. “This is not a victory lap ... By no means is the work done.”
Trump has visited northeast or northcentral Pennsylvania 13 times, including stops in Wilkes-Barre Twp. and Scranton last year as he campaigned for a second term.
