Trump To Visit Pittsburgh Despite Objections From Mayor, Jewish Leaders
President Trump plans to travel to Pittsburgh on Tuesday afternoon, as the city continues to mourn Saturday's massacre that claimed the lives of 11 worshippers at a synagogue.
When Trump arrives, he is expected to meet with members of the local Jewish community. But the visit comes despite the wishes of some political and religious leaders who felt that the president should come at a later date — or not at all.
The visit is the same day of the first funerals for those killed at the Tree of Life synagogue.
The city's Democratic mayor, Bill Peduto, urged the president not to come while friends and families were burying their loved ones.
"I do believe that it would be best to put the attention on families this week and if he were to visit, choose a different time to do it," Peduto told CNN.
