President Donald Trump is expected to appear in Northern Kentucky on Wednesday.

An event invitation obtained by the Herald-Leader says Trump will deliver remarks at a packaging facility in Boone County on March 11.

Doors open at 1 p.m. for the event at Verst Logistics Contract Packaging Facility at 2200 Gateway Blvd. in Hebron, the online invite states.

The invitation does not provide details about the nature of the event.

Verst provides packaging and shrink wrap labeling for consumer products, according to the company’s website.

Trump is also scheduled to appear in Cincinnati Wednesday to tout his new prescription drug website, TrumpRx.gov, which is aimed at helping connect consumers to discounted pricing, Cincinnati television station WCPO reported Friday.

The ABC affiliate said Trump will speak at Thermo Fisher Scientific in Reading, Ohio.

The Kentucky visit puts him in the district of U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie, who Trump is hoping will be unseated in the Republican primary by his pick, Ed Gallrein, a former Navy SEAL from Shelby County.

Trump has long been at odds with Massie, who has represented Kentucky’s 4th District since 2012. Most recently, Massie has been critical of the Trump administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and the war in Iran.
