President Trump to Speak at Mack Trucks Plant in Pennsylvania

Showcasing federal backing for U.S. manufacturing, the visit highlights a contract local officials say will keep military truck production in the Lehigh Valley.

Overview

  • President Trump will visit the Mack Trucks facility in Macungie on Tuesday, June 23, and is scheduled to speak at 2 p.m.; tickets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
  • A White House official said the trip is meant to show the administration’s support for American workers and the revitalization of domestic industry.
  • Rep. Dan Meuser announced the visit publicly and praised Mack Trucks as a symbol of U.S. manufacturing strength for the Lehigh Valley economy.
  • Rep. Ryan Mackenzie announced a $47 million federal contract for Mack Defense that local officials say will keep military heavy-dump truck production in the region.
  • The stop doubles as political messaging in a key Pennsylvania area that Trump has campaigned in repeatedly and could shape local views on jobs and federal procurement ahead of swing-district races.
