June 4, 2020 — President Donald Trump will hold a roundtable discussion with parties involved in the commercial fishing industry during his visit to Maine on Friday, according to a White House official.
The president is slated to come to the Pine Tree State to visit the Puritan Medical Products facility in Guilford, which manufactures medical swabs used in coronavirus testing. The Guilford company is one of the two largest swab manufacturers in the world and is opening a new swab manufacturing facility in Pittsfield this summer to meet the surging demand for swabs.
The company is using $75.5 million in federal funds under the Defense Production Act to open that facility.
The president is expected to discuss regulations and how to expand economic opportunities for the commercial fishing industry, according to the official.
Details of when exactly the visit will take place have not been disclosed.
