WASHINGTON, DC (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – President Biden will visit East Palestine on Friday, according to the White House.
No time has been set.
The White House said last month that Mr. Biden would be coming to town sometime this month.
He’s heard criticism for not visiting earlier, but the administration points to the number of times the EPA administrator has been in town.
Mayor Trent Conaway wants the chief executive to come to town.
The one-year anniversary of the train derailment was February 3rd.
