Former President Donald Trump is set to visit East Palestine, Ohio, on Wednesday to tour the site of a toxic train derailment amid growing frustration from residents and leaders about the federal government’s response to their safety concerns.
The trip comes as Trump and other Republicans have stepped up criticism of the Biden administration’s handling of the Feb. 3 derailment, which led to evacuations and fears of contamination of the community's air and drinking water after a controlled burning of the toxic chemicals aboard the rail cars.
