NEW ORLEANS — President Trump's visit to New Orleans next week for a fundraising dinner on May 14 will be part of a full day of events in Louisiana for the president.

Trump will also visit Cameron Parish and tour the Sempra Cameron LNG Export Facility.

The president will talk about domestic job creation while at the plant.

Louisiana's Republican leaders in Congress said they were excited about the visit.

“I am thrilled that President Trump is coming to Louisiana and visiting Sempra Energy’s LNG facility in Cameron Parish," said U.S. Senator John Kennedy. "Liquefied natural gas is a booming industry in Louisiana that’s creating countless jobs and meeting energy demands around the world."

“I thank President Trump for his commitment to unleashing American energy and supporting Louisiana energy workers,” said U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy. “Under Republicans’ watch, we’ve seen new investment in projects from the well head to the export facility—bringing billions to our state and creating good-paying jobs for Louisiana workers.”
