U.S. President Donald Trump will visit a Boeing Co. plant in St. Louis on Wednesday to tout the impact of the tax overhaul bill signed into law in December, a White House official said on Sunday.
A Boeing official confirmed the visit, but declined to elaborate. The company builds F-15 and F-18 fighter jets in St. Louis and employs about 14,000 people there. In October 2016, it opened a 424,000-sq.-foot facility in the city that builds composite parts for the 777X commercial jetliner.
Trump will also attend a fundraiser in St. Louis for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Josh Hawley, the St. Louis Post Dispatch reported.
