President Donald Trump will deliver remarks at the Mack Trucks plant in Lower Macungie Township on Tuesday, June 23, 2026. The visit marks the president's third visit to Lehigh County since 2024 and the second time a sitting president has toured Mack Trucks in the past five years.

LOWER MACUNGIE TWP., Pa. — U.S. President Donald Trump is set to return to the Lehigh Valley next week where he's scheduled to deliver remarks at the Mack Trucks plant.

While the White House has not released any announcements about the upcoming appearance, U.S. Rep. Dan Meuser, R-Penn. and a close ally of the president's, posted the appearance onbr X Thursday evening. The office of U.S. Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, R-Lehigh Valley, confirmed the visit Friday morning.

"We are excited to welcome President Trump into the Lehigh Valley on Tuesday," a Mackenzie spokesman said.

Registration for the 2 p.m. event is now available online. Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis; people can request up to two tickets per phone number registered for the event.

Trump has been no stranger to the Lehigh Valley — this would mark his third visit to Lehigh County since 2024. His last visited days before his historic victory in 2024 when thousands of supporters turned out to see him at the PPL Center in Allentown. He also held an outdoor campaign rally in Schnecksville in April 2024, shortly before he went to trial for falsifying business records to hide coverup payments regarding an affair.

Trump also visited Mt. Airy Casino just outside the region in December, when he painted a rosy outlook for the country as the midterm elections began to take shape.

Polls suggest that sunnier picture has not taken root with the American people. According to a new Marist Poll, just 36% of Americans approve of Trump's job performance, a low mark for his second term. While he won re-election by hammering President Joe Biden on the American economy, rising energy costs and stubbornly high prices on everyday goods remain a sore point. Sixty percent of Americans disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy, the poll found.

Tuesday will mark the second time in five years that Mack Trucks has rolled out the welcome mat for a presidential motorcade. Biden toured the facility in 2021 as part of his Build Back Better tour. Mack employees showcased electric vehicles being constructed on site during that visit.
