More information is slowly starting to come from the White House about the presidential visit this weekend.
We're still awaiting times and details of what the visit will consist of. But, we're learning more behind the reasoning for President Trump's visit on Sunday. A White House official says this is all because of a promise Anthony Pratt made two years ago. In 2017, Australian businessman Anthony Pratt, owner of Pratt Industries, committed that he’d invest $2 billion into the United States.
President Donald Trump is expected to visit Pratt Industries in Wapakoneta Sunday with Australian prime minister Scott Morrison and ambassador Joe Hockey. Trump welcomed Morrison for an official visit to Washington D.C. on Thursday. Pratt is set to show off phase one of his Wapakoneta investment with the recycled paper mill. Phase two is expected to bring a corrugated box factory, likely to open in 2022.
Trump's visit to Wapakoneta will be his 12th trip to Ohio and his second to Northwest Central Ohio. Trump is scheduled to meet with the prime minister from India early on Sunday in Texas.
