Trump Heads To Texas, Will Sign Pipeline Executive Orders

CROSBY, TX — President Donald Trump will be in Crosby on Wednesday to announce executive orders aimed at expanding and natural gas production, and speeding up pipeline production in the northeastern U.S.

Air Force One will land at Ellington Field Wednesday afternoon and Trump will travel to the International Union of Operating Engineers International Training and Education Center in Crosby where he is expected to sign those executive orders, officials said.

The White House has not released details of what is in the executive orders, but officials said the executive orders are designed to help energy companies to “avoid unnecessary red tape.”

Trump's arrival in Crosby comes a week after a fire at the KMCO facility explosion and fire that killed one employee and injured two others.

The Harris County Fire Marshal’s Office is still investigating the cause of the explosion.
