VOA News

   U.S. President Donald Trump is set to visit Baltimore, the eastern
   U.S., majority-black city he recently called a "disgusting, rat and
   rodent infested mess'' where "no human being would want to live.''
   Trump will be in BaltimoreonThursday to address Republican
   congressional leaders attending an annual retreat.
   Several protests are planned to coincide with his visit. Activist
   groups are planning to protest "racism, white supremacy, war, bigotry
   and climate change," organizers toldThe Baltimore Sun.
   Trump has denied charges of racism regarding his attacks on the city
   andU.S.RepresentativeElijah Cummings,aMarylandDemocratwho is a native
   of Baltimore.
   "There is nothing racist in stating plainly what most people already
   know, that Elijah Cummings has done a terrible job for the people of
   his district, and of Baltimore itself," he tweeted in July.
