WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump will be in the Cincinnati area on Wednesday to talk about his plan for new federal spending on infrastructure, according to a White House spokeswoman.

The spokeswoman, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the details of the trip were still being finalized.

"Next week President Trump will launch infrastructure week which is a critical pillar of the president’s agenda to promote job creation and grow the U.S.economy," the spokeswoman said.

The president's visit to southern Ohio will be part of a broader push by the White House to move ahead with Trump's campaign promise to spend $1 trillion over 10 years on infrastructure investments, according to the White House. Trump will kick off the new policy push with a Rose Garden announcement on Monday.

The president's pivot to infrastructure comes as other White House priorities have either stalled or are moving at a snail's pace, including the GOP push to repeal and replace Obamacare. It also comes as the White House is under a growing cloud of questions stemming from the federal investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government to sway the 2016 election.
