Good morning!
I’m your in-town print pooler today.
There have been no changes to President Trump's schedule thus far. POTUS is scheduled to depart the White House for Gastonia, North Carolina this afternoon, where he is set to deliver remarks at 7 p.m.
The president has three closed policy meetings, two closed photo opportunities and closed signing time scheduled in the Oval Office today otherwise.
It’s a warm, cloudless morning. A Marine is not stationed outside of the West Wing, indicating that POTUS is not in the Oval Office.
A ceremonial guard held a rehearsal on the North Lawn in preparation for Chinese President Xi Jinping’s expected visit next week.
