Statement from the Press Secretary Announcing President Donald J. Trump’s Upcoming Travel to Texas and Ohio

On Sunday, September 22, 2019, President Donald J. Trump will travel to Houston, Texas, and Wapakoneta, Ohio, to underscore the important partnerships between the United States and India, and Australia. In Houston, President Trump will participate in an event with Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India. The event, “Howdy, Modi! Shared Dreams, Bright Futures,” is expected to draw tens of thousands of people. It will be a great opportunity to emphasize the strong ties between the people of the United States and India, to reaffirm the strategic partnership between the world’s oldest and largest democracies, and to discuss ways to deepen their energy and trade relationship. President Trump will then travel to Wapakoneta, Ohio, where he will be joined by Prime Minister Scott Morrison of Australia for a tour of a new, Australian-owned manufacturing facility. This visit will demonstrate the strong trade and investment relationship between the United States and Australia and President Trump’s
successful efforts to restore the United States as the world’s leading destination for foreign direct investment.

I can see taking the Australian PM to an Australian plant in OH.

But the Indian PM to a campaign rally? I’m sure Trump will work it out, but it seems a little awkward to me. I’ll be interested to see how he pulls it off - as only Trump can do.
