Live stream: President Trump pushes waterway infrastructure plan
President Trump continues a week-long push of his infrastructure proposals with a visit to Ohio Wednesday. He'll talk about the nation’s aging system of levees, dams, and locks at a marina in Cincinnati. Watch it live in the player above.
At a White House briefing on Monday, spokeswoman Sarah Sanders did not offer any specifics on Trump's waterways plan, but said the president will "speak about his wide-ranging vision for rebuilding our country, with a special focus on repairing our 12,000-mile inland waterway system." Trump and other administration officials will also call on states, cities and private companies to pay more for rebuilding roads, bridges, railways, airports and other types of infrastructure.
In addition to Wednesday’s speech in Cincinnati, the White House schedule this week includes meetings with members of Congress on infrastructure and an “infrastructure summit” at the White House on Thursday with some governors and mayors. Meanwhile, the Trump administration braces for potentially explosive congressional testimony Thursday from ex-FBI Director James Comey.
