MARINETTE, Wis. (CBS 58) -- President Donald Trump will travel to Marinette, Wisconsin on Thursday, June 25, for his first visit since the pandemic started.
The president is scheduled to visit the Fincantieri Marinette Marine, where he will tour the shipyard and deliver remarks.
He is expected to discuss his administration's decision to expand the shipyard and the recent contract his administration awarded the complex to build 10 new ships for the Navy.
As a result of this contract, Fincantieri plans to invest over $200 million in Wisconsin and create over 1,000 jobs at the shipyard, according to White House officials.
President Trump will then take part in a one-hour town hall at Austin Straubel International Airport in Green Bay.
