President Joe Biden visited Syracuse, New York to talk about new grants for Micron Technologies. He also honored the two police officers who died while on duty. Biden mentioned how important it is to support law enforcement and their families.
Before Biden arrived, some people wanted him to cancel the trip because of the tragedy. The Syracuse Police Benevolent Association said it was wrong for Biden to visit during such a sad time. However, the Syracuse Police Chief said the department did not ask for the visit to be postponed.
Despite the opinions about his visit, Biden went ahead with his trip and met with the families of the fallen officers afterward. Governor Kathy Hochul also showed respect for the officers before Biden spoke.
During his speech, Biden talked about the economic impact the Micron grants would have on New York. Senator Chuck Schumer said the expansion would create many new jobs and make the Micron facility very advanced.
