Sean O’Brien, the General President of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, accepted President Donald J. Trump’s invitation to address the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee next month.
The Trump campaign released the following statement:
Teamsters President O’Brien is a fourth-generation Teamster and a tireless advocate for the nation’s largest, most diverse labor organization.
Following reports of Teamsters President O’Brien’s interest in speaking at both party conventions this year, President Trump personally extended an invitation for O’Brien to participate at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. In January of this year, President Trump participated in a roundtable discussion with Teamsters President O’Brien, Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman, the union’s executive board, and rank-and-file members. A meeting that O’Brien described as “an in-depth and productive discussion on worker issues most important to the Teamsters Union.”
Today, President Trump first shared the news of Teamsters President O’Brien’s invitation and acceptance in a TRUTH Social post, seen below:
Sean O’Brien, the General President of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, has accepted my invitation to speak at the RNC Convention in Milwaukee. Our GREAT convention will unify Americans and demonstrate to the nation’s working families they come first. When I am back in the White House, the hardworking Teamsters, and all working Americans, will once again have a country they can afford to live in and be respected around the world. Sean, I look forward to seeing you represent the Teamsters in Milwaukee. Together we can Make America Great Again.
