Former President Donald Trump will visit East Palestine, Ohio next week to meet with members of the community still reeling from the train derailment that led to the large-scale release of toxic chemicals earlier this month.
Mr. Trump confirmed his plans on Saturday with a statement blasting President Biden for the federal government’s response to the Feb. 3 incident.
“Biden and FEMA said they would not be sending federal aid to East Palestine,” the former president said in a statement. “As soon as I announced that I’m going, he announced a team will go. Hopefully he will also be there. This is good news because we got them to “move.” The people of East Palestine need help. I’ll see you on Wednesday!”
Fox News first reported Mr. Trump’s travel plans.
The Biden administration has come under criticism amid accusations that the federal government was slow to respond to the release of toxic chemicals caused by the derailment.
