Former President Donald Trump will travel to East Palestine, Ohio, next week to tour the damage of the Norfolk Southern trail derailment and clean-up efforts, Fox News reported.
“A source familiar confirms to Fox News that former President Trump will visit East Palestine, OH, on Wednesday to tour the damage of the Norfolk Southern derailment and cleanup efforts,” Fox News’s Garrett Tenney tweeted.
Trump’s visit comes amid clean-up efforts as the community deals with the aftermath of a train derailment earlier in the month that released toxic chemicals.
Roughly 50 train cars were involved in the February 3 derailment. Ohio officials also performed a “controlled release” of five derailed train cars holding vinyl chloride days after the derailment.
