The president will also address efforts to construct a reservoir that would limit harmful discharges from Lake Okeechobee into the neighboring St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee rivers.

The toxic algae blooms present in the lake alarmed environmentalists and became a key issue for some Florida voters in last year's elections.

Lake Okeechobee is roughly 50 miles from West Palm Beach, where Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort is located. The president spent last weekend at the property, and a Federal Aviation Administration advisory suggests that he will do the same this weekend.
