(Radio Iowa) – Iowa Congresswoman Ashley Hinson, a Republican from Marion says she believes President Donald Trump is giving an economic speech here next week because of the state’s economy. “I think we should be the model to look at in terms of fiscal responsibility. We continue to be the best place to live, work for as a family, and so I think that it’s clear he’s chosen Iowa because it’s where it launched him. But I don’t have all the details yet on his visit,” she says.
Hinson says she’s been working on getting E-15 gasoline sold year-round, and hopes that comes up in Trump’s speech. “This is an Iowa priority, this is a farm economy priority across the Midwest and the corn belt,” Hinson says. “This is about markets. So, what I have continued to communicate to the President and the administration and. He understands this, so I’m hopeful for some sort of a announcement about the agriculture economy and what we can continue to do to help support our farmers.”
Hinson was asked during her conference call with reporters about the importance of the Presidents negotiations over Greenland. “The agreement that he’s reached with our European allies will make it so that hopefully the world is a safer place. We just lost two American soldiers, two Iowa soldiers. The world is a dangerous place, and everything we can do to deter those conflicts around the world is what we need to be doing as a global superpower.”
Hinson says she plans to be there for the President’s visit to Iowa once she finds out more about the details of that visit. Hinson is running for the U-S Senate.
