Trump and Rubio plan to visit oil tanker carrying Venezuelan crude in Texas
The visit to Port Arthur, Texas, comes on the same day that Trump is campaigning in the state for Republican candidates in the midterms. President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio plan to visit a newly arrived oil tanker filled with Venezuelan crude in Port Arthur, Texas, on the same day as Trump is campaigning for Republican candidates in the midterms. The visit is highly unusual for Rubio, who also serves as Trump's national security adviser, to participate in political travel. The trip comes as part of a larger effort by the president to shore up support for U.S. Senate candidate Ken Paxton in a tight race with Democratic candidate James Talarico. This is the first time Rubio has taken the road with Trump as he campaigns.
