President Donald Trump will be attending an energy and tech summit next month hosted by Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Dave McCormick.

The Energy and Innovation Summit is scheduled to happen at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh on July 15. The event will highlight the Keystone State’s role in the nation’s energy landscape and its contributions to powering artificial intelligence, the senator’s office said.

“There’s no question that the path to American energy dominance runs directly through Pennsylvania, and this Summit will celebrate all our Commonwealth has to offer,” McCormick said in a statement. “I am grateful to President Trump for announcing he will join us in Pittsburgh.”
