Former President Trump plans to visit the town of East Palestine, Ohio, where a train derailment led to the release of toxic chemicals, next week.
Trump posted on Truth Social in response to a report that he was planning to make the trip that the residents of East Palestine are “Great people who need help, NOW!”
The 2024 presidential candidate’s son, Donald Trump Jr., posted on Twitter that his father will visit the town.
“If our ‘leaders’ are too afraid to actually lead real leaders will step up and fill the void,” Trump Jr. said.
Fox News first reported Trump’s plans.
