PHOENIX (AP) - Several hundred fans of President Donald Trump greeted Air Force One as the presidential aircraft landed in Phoenix Tuesday.
Supporters waved Trump flags, donned red hats and cheered as the plane touched down. Few wore masks, and several groups of dozens of people were crowded together on street corners outside the Honeywell campus that hosted Trump next to the Phoenix airport.
Trump visited a Honeywell mask factory in one of his first forays outside Washington since the virus outbreak brought the country to a standstill.
He was greeted on the ground by Gov. Doug Ducey. The governor, the president and others with them did not wear masks or other protective gear, though anyone allowed near the president is given a rapid test for the coronavirus.
Sen. Martha McSally and U.S. Reps. Paul Gosar and Debbie Lesko, all Republicans, flew with Trump to Phoenix.
