Gov. Eric J. Holcomb met with Vice President Pence , while in Washington D.C. for the 2018 SelectUSA Summit. He offered the following statement following that meeting:
“It was great to catch up with the vice president in his office while I’m in Washington, D.C. for the SelectUSA Summit. We talked about Indiana’s job creation momentum, our state workforce initiatives, and my concerns about the impacts of trade tariffs on Indiana businesses. I was encouraged by the vice president’s comments about the progress that has been made in negotiating reciprocal trade agreements with our partners, especially relating to agriculture and manufacturing.
“After I met with the vice president, I was also heartened to learn that President Trump announced he would take short-term action to stop the practice of separating families who cross the border illegally. Members on both sides of the congressional aisle have the historic opportunity to fix our broken immigration system with respect for the rule of law. They need to act now.â€
