U.S. President Donald Trump is set to visit Michigan on Tuesday, including a tour of Ford’s (F) factory in Dearborn, alongside a scheduled visit to the Sound Board theater at the MotorCity Casino. He is expected to speak with members of the Detroit Economic Club.
The visit aims to promote Trump’s manufacturing initiatives amid concerns over job market weakness and rising prices. This trip follows Trump’s pattern of economy-focused events in key states like Michigan, which he won in 2016 and 2024.
“We are excited to welcome President Trump to Ford’s historic Rouge Center — where Henry Ford perfected vertical integration and where thousands of American workers assemble America’s best-selling truck for 49 years: F-Series. As the top U.S. automaker by domestic employment and production, we look forward to showcasing what has always set Ford apart: American workers putting the automobile within reach of every American.” Ford spokesperson Dave Tovar told FOX 2 Detroit.
His visit precedes the Detroit Auto Show, which is set to kick off later this week.
