President Trump heads to Ohio on Wednesday to take credit for reviving an Ohio tank factory, attempting to smooth over economic trouble signs in a politically crucial state where his trade war is hurting manufacturing. From EliStokols and Noahbierman:
New Abrams tanks overhauled at the Pentagon-owned factory in Lima, Ohio, are loaded on rail cars for shipment.
Though tariffs have taken a toll on jobs and confidence, Trump has tried to compensate with an infusion of military spending. The tank factory he will visit in Lima, operated by General Dynamics, nearly closed six years ago; Army officials told Congress that they didn’t need any more of the heavy M-1 Abrams tanks it produces because they are less geared toward modern wars against insurgents.
“I want action on Lordstown fast,” the president tweeted. “Stop complaining and get the job done! 3.8% Unemployment!”
