WAPAKONETA, Ohio — President Donald Trump will visit Ohio next week to highlight the important partnerships between the United States and Australia, according to the Office of the Press Secretary.

On Sunday, Sept. 22, Trump will travel to Wapakoneta, Ohio where he will meet with the Prime Minister of Australia, Scott Morrison, to tour a new Australian-owned manufacturing facility, the press office said.

The visit is meant to “demonstrate the strong trade and investment relationship between the United States and Australia and President Trump’s successful efforts to restore the United States as the world’s leading destination for foreign direct investment,” according to the press office.

In addition to Trump’s visit to Ohio, he will also travel to Houston, Texas to meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India for the “Howdy, Modi! Shared Dreams, Bright Futures” event. That event is meant to emphasize the strong ties between the people of the United States and India, the press office said.
