据一名白宫官员称,美国总统乔·拜登(Joe Biden)将于周一前往明尼苏达州,开始一场政府范围内的“投资美国”之旅。
在北极星州,拜登将访问康明斯的弗里德利总部,生产卡车发动机和替代清洁能源技术。白宫官员表示,在讲话中,总统将讨论他的“投资美国”议程如何释放制造业和创新的繁荣,建立清洁能源经济,并在弗里德利等社区和全国其他地方创造高薪就业机会。
自拜登于2021年1月上任以来,各公司已承诺在明尼苏达州投资超过20亿美元。据这位白宫官员称,总统周一的访问将与康明斯宣布投资10亿美元扩大其在印第安纳州、北卡罗来纳州和纽约的制造相吻合。
副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯和第一夫人吉尔·拜登本周也将前往全国各地的社区,作为“投资美国”之旅的一部分。哈里斯将前往佐治亚州,而第一夫人将访问密歇根州、佛蒙特州、科罗拉多州和缅因州。这位白宫官员说,在三周的时间里,总统和他的政府成员将访问20多个州。
这次旅行正值国会为期两周的春季休假。拜登政府似乎热衷于访问美国人的家乡,因为立法者有机会举办自己的地方活动。
Biden to kick off administration-wide 'Investing in America' tour
President Joe Biden will kick off an administration-wide "Investing in America" tour with a trip to Minnesota on Monday, according to a White House official.
While in the North Star State, Biden willvisitthe Fridley headquarters of Cummins, which manufactures truck engines and alternative clean energy technology. During his remarks, the president will discuss how his "Investing in America" agenda is unleashing a manufacturing and innovation boom, building a clean energy economy and creating well paid jobs in communities like Fridley and elsewhere across the nation, the White House official said.
Since Biden took office in January 2021, companies have committed to invest more than $2 billion across Minnesota. The president's visit on Monday will coincide with Cummins' announcement that the company is investing $1 billion to expand its manufacturing in Indiana, North Carolina and New York, according to the White House official.
Vice President Kamala Harris and first lady Jill Biden will also travel to communities across the country this week as part of the "Investing in America" tour. Harris will go to Georgia, while the first lady will hit Michigan, Vermont, Colorado and Maine. Over the course of three weeks, the president and various members of his administration will cover more than 20 states, the White House official said.
The tour comes as Congress is on a two-week recess for the spring holidays. The Biden administration appears keen to visit Americans in their hometowns as lawmakers get the chance to hold their own local events.
