SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) - President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak at a manufacturing company when he visits Springfield on Wednesday.
The White House said the president is scheduled to arrive in Springfield about 2 p.m. Wednesday. He will speak about tax reform for about 30-45 minutes at Loren Cook Company, which makes ventilation equipment. The president is scheduled to leave Springfield immediately after the speech.
The White House says the speech is a closed event and no tickets will be sold to the public.
