[LiberalArkie]

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders will travel to Belgium, England and Ireland next week for an overseas trade mission, officials announced Monday.

Sanders’ trip is scheduled from July 19-24 and includes a stop at the Farnborough International Airshow in England and meetings with business and government leaders in Belgium and Ireland, according to a press release.

The governor will be joined by First Gentleman Bryan Sanders, Chief of Staff Gretchen Conger, Deputy Chief of Staff Judd Deere, and a team from the Arkansas Economic Development Commission led by Commerce Secretary Hugh McDonald and AEDC Director Clint O’Neal, spokesperson Sam Dubke said.

Dubke did not provide an estimated cost of the trip, but said the AEDC Foundation, Department of Commerce and the governor’s office will cover costs as they have for past governors’ trade mission trips for economic development.
