“It’s a pleasure to welcome Prime Minister Morrison and his wife to the United States and soon to Ohio,” Obhof said. “The relationship between our two countries is strong, and we share a commitment to economic growth, innovation and mutually beneficial trade for the prosperity of our citizens.”

“It’s an incredible opportunity to welcome Prime Minister Morrison and his wife to the United States,” Peterson said. “When he visits Ohio, I know that he will appreciate our talented workforce, abundant resources and commitment to growth that will help both of our countries succeed.”

“Australia and the United States share a deep history of friendship and common values such as self enterprise and free markets. We are grateful for Australia's investment in Ohio and for, as the Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said, ‘our mateship,’” Roegner said.
