Vice President Mike Pence addresses business leaders in Detroit this week, only a few days after Democratic presidential candidates held their debate in the city.

The Vice President will give a speech at the Detroit Economic Club.

Economic growth is one of President Trump’s major selling points in his re-election campaign.

Pence also toured Metro Detroit recently to promote the Trump Administration’s new trade deal with Mexico and Canada, calling it a vast improvement over the previous NAFTA treaty.

The new agreement was criticized by some Democratic presidential contenders during their recent debate in Detroit.

Former Vice President Joe Biden…who was also blasted by rivals for voting for NAFTA, said he would only make a new trade deal if organized labor leaders were fully involved in the process.
