Pence speaks in Detroit

DETROIT, MI (MPRN)--   Vice President Mike Pence brought a spirited defense of the Trump administration’s economic policies to a speech in Detroit Monday. 

Speaking to 300 members and guests of the Detroit Economic Club, Pence said the U.S. economic outlook remains strong. He accused those saying otherwise of “irresponsible rhetoric.”

The vice president said the Trump administration’s economic policies are helping Michigan’s top industry.

“I couldn’t be more proud to say the automotive industry is roaring back, here in Michigan and all across the heartland,” Pence said.

Pence attacked economic plans being offered by Democrats running for president. He also criticized China’s trade policies.
