Vice President Pence praises Utah

Vice President Mike Pence is praising Utah as a state that knows how to create jobs. 

The Vice President flew into Salt Lake City last night ahead of a speech this morning at Merit Medical in South Jordan.

Speaking to reporters at the airport, Pence said he wanted to make sure Utahns knew the importance of a new trade agreement between the U.S., Canada and Mexico. 

Pence has made several stops in other states this week promoting the trade agreement.
