Doubling Down, Kanye West To Dine With President Trump At White House
Wednesday, October 10, 2018
Rapper Kanye West, who has said that he and President Trump both share "dragon energy," will drop by the White House this week to have lunch with the president, the White House said Tuesday (October 9, 2018)
Presidential son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner will also meet with West when he visits, press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement.
“Topics of discussions will include manufacturing resurgence in America, prison reform, how to prevent gang violence, and what can be done to reduce violence in Chicago,” Sanders said.
Trump on Monday said he had instructed the Department of Justice to work with law enforcement in West's hometown of Chicago to “straighten out the terrible shooting wave." The president has also threatened to send in federal forces to clean up Chicago.
