Trump cancels reported bill signing in Ohio
President Trump will not be in Ohio this week, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported Monday.
Though the White House had never officially announced the trip, the administration had issued an advisory last week suggesting Trump would make a visit to Vienna, Ohio, according to the newspaper.
The Youngstown Vindicator reported over the weekend that Trump was planning to sign a bill overturning an Obama administration regulation known as the “Stream Protection Rule,” which sought to prevent coal companies from depositing waste into streams.

During his presidential campaign, Trump railed against trade deals that he argued sent jobs overseas, including those in the coal industry, which is a prominent sector in Ohio.
