This month East Palestine's Mayor Trent Conaway told Fox News that Biden's trip to Ukraine this week, and not his town, was 'the biggest slap in the face' for his community.
President Joe Biden confirmed to reporters at the White House on Friday that he will not be going to East Palestine, Ohio"at this moment."
Conaway said,"That tells you right now he doesn’t care about us. He can send every agency he wants to, but I found out this morning that he was in Ukraine giving millions of dollars away to people over there and not to us — on President's Day in our country — so I'm furious."
