Nearly one year after the toxic train disaster in East Palestine, Ohio, President Biden will visit the community and assess efforts to address last year’s Norfolk Southern train derailment, a White House official said on Wednesday.
No specific date for Biden’s trip has been given.
“The Administration will continue to support the people of East Palestine and other affected communities for as long as it takes, including by using every available tool to hold Norfolk Southern accountable,” the White House official said in a statement announcing the visit.
Former President and GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump blasted the Biden Administration on TRUTH Social, calling Biden “the worst president in history” and suggesting now is not the best time to go to Ohio.
“With the World blowing up around us, with the Middle East on FIRE, Biden has finally decided to visit East Palestine, Ohio, a year late, and only to develop some political credibility because EVERYTHING else he has done has been such a DISASTER,” Trump said. “I know those great people, I was there when it counted, and his reception won’t be a warm one. Worst President in History!”
