The trip is framed by the White House as part of efforts to highlight U.S. manufacturing and address concerns about the job market and rising prices. It follows other recent economy-focused speeches the president has given in Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Democrats have criticized the visit and cited policy disagreements and prior remarks.
