President Trump is visiting the Lehigh Valley next week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump will speak at Mack Trucks in Macungie<\/a>, Pennsylvania, Tuesday at 2 p.m. Macungie is roughly 10 miles from Allentown.<\/p>\n

Mack Trucks is a 1.7 million square-foot facility in Macungie that assembles heavy-duty trucks for North American and export markets, according to its website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Mack Trucks are a symbol of America’s manufacturing strength,” Rep. Dan Meuser said in a Facebook post<\/a> about Mr. Trump’s upcoming visit to Pennsylvania. “Their Lehigh Valley operations are a pillar of the local economy, employing Pennsylvania workers and driving the nation’s trucking industry.”<\/p>\n

In the lead-up to the 2024 election, Mr. Trump visited Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state, multiple times. He’s also visitied during his second term.<\/p>\n

In December 2025, Mr. Trump said in a speech in Mount Pocono<\/a>, Pennsylvania, that he was “crushing” inflation and called affordability concerns a “Democratic hoax.”<\/p>\n

One week later, Vice President JD Vance aimed to calm the affordability concerns<\/a> at a Uline facility in Alburtis, about 13 miles southwest of Allentown.<\/p>\n

Tickets are available for Mr. Trump’s visit to Macungie next week on a first-come, first-serve basis.<\/p>\n
