President Donald Trump celebrated what he said is a thriving American economy and relationship between the U.S. and Australia during a stop in western Ohio on Sunday for the opening of a paper mill owned by an Australian billionaire and supporter of the president.
Speaking to a crowd of about 1,500 invited supporters, Trump made brief — by his standards — remarks that functioned mostly as a pep rally for the economy, with few of what have become his trademark attacks on political rivals.
He did not address the latest scandal to hit his presidency after the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump had asked the Ukrainian president to investigate the son of former Vice President Joe Biden, now a candidate for the Democratic nomination for president. Trump has denied wrongdoing.
