GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN - President Donald Trump, trailing in national opinion polls ahead of the November election, will visit a shipbuilding facility in Wisconsin on Thursday to tout his record on manufacturing and shore up support in the politically crucial state.

The US Navy in April awarded Italy's Fincantieri a US$5.5 billion contract to build its newest class of warships known as frigates, something Trump lauded in a tweet as he arrived in the Midwestern state. The Republican president has come under pressure for his response to the coronavirus pandemic and to civil rights protests across the country. Advisers want him to focus on his economic record before the pandemic and convince voters that he is best placed to bring the country back to economic strength.

"Today, Donald Trump is in Marinette to take credit for Obama-Biden Administration-fueled successes in an attempt to paper over the fact that Wisconsin has been bleeding blue-collar manufacturing jobs over the past few weeks," he said in a statement.
