Trump Visits Michigan to Promote Manufacturing Push
2 weeks ago
President Donald Trump is traveling to Michigan on Tuesday to highlight his efforts to strengthen U.S. manufacturing and defend his economic record. The trip includes a visit to a Ford factory in Dearborn that produces F-150 pickup trucks and a speech at the Detroit Economic Club at MotorCity Casino.
The White House says the visit is aimed at addressing public concerns about a weakening job market and rising prices. Trump’s administration has touted tariffs and other measures to protect American industry while cutting some levies on imported auto parts to encourage domestic production.
Michigan, which Trump won in 2016 and 2024, has been a key focus for his economic messaging. Democrats have criticized the visit, arguing it highlights the challenges working families face under Trump’s economic policies.
