The White House says Trump will visit three training centers in eastern Kentucky on Friday. Trump and Bevin are scheduled to tour the eKentucky Advanced Manufacturing Institute in Paintsville, Big Sandy Community and Technical College in Prestonsburg and Morehead State University in Morehead.

Trump is the daughter of President Donald Trump and works as an adviser to his administration. She has focused on workforce development, making similar visits to Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.

The governor's office confirmed the visit on Wednesday. Spokeswoman Elizabeth Kuhn said the visit to Morehead State University would focus on the aerospace industry, which has accounted for $1.5 billion in investment announcements and 2,800 jobs in Kentucky since January 2016.
