President Donald Trump speaks during a meeting with Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, and Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly, in the Cabinet Room of the White House, Wednesday, May 20, 2020, in Washington.Baltimore Mayor Jack Young is asking President Donald Trump not to visit the city on Memorial Day as the city remains under a stay-at-home order.

"That President Trump is deciding to pursue non-essential travel sends the wrong message to our residents," Young said. "I wish that the President, as our nation's leaders, would set a positive example and not travel."Baltimore Mayor Bernard "Jack" Young formally asked President Donald Trump not to visit the city on Memorial Day as the city remains under a stay-at-home order due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

"The City of Baltimore remains under a Stay at Home order," Young said in a Thursday statement. "That President Trump is deciding to pursue non-essential travel sends the wrong message to our residents, many of whom have been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 virus. I wish that the President, as our nation's leader, would set a positive example and not travel during this holiday weekend.

"In addition to the President sending a conflicting message to our residents, his visit required personnel and equipment, and has a price tag that our City, which is still dealing with the loss of roughly $20 million in revenue per month simply can't afford to shoulder," Young wrote. A White House spokesperson did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment on Young's statement.
