According to the news coming from the white house, Lightfoot is not going to meet, President of the United States, Donald Trump. Apart from that this visit still signifies an imperative mark for Lightfoot who is newly-elected Chicago official.

The more she said that it is very imperative that we are on the chart in Washington that we have good relationships with our delegates and of course with our senators. Being corporally present and having people know who I am and begin to make those relationships, I know few people in the committee for sure. “But it is necessary that they know me and that I begin to have a physical presence in Washington, D.C. as well as in Springfield”, she said.
