JD Vance visits East Palestine on 2-year anniversary of toxic Ohio train derailment

Vice President JD Vance vowed Monday that the Trump administration will “finish the cleanup” of East Palestine, Ohio, during a visit to mark the 2-year anniversary of a toxic train derailment.

“We are in it for the long haul in East Palestine,” Vance, a former US senator from Ohio, said in remarks from the town’s fire station.

The vice president noted that President Trump wanted him to visit East Palestine and deliver the message that the community “will not be forgotten” and “will not be left behind.”

“What does that mean? Well, one thing it means is that, of course, the environmental cleanup has to get done,” Vance declared, calling it a “tragedy and a shame” that the cleanup wasn’t completed during the Biden administration.
