LAS VEGAS (AP) – President Barack Obama will be speaking at a Las Vegas UPS cargo building during a brief trip this week following his State of the Union address.

Obama’s talk Thursday morning at the shipping company site will address proposals he’ll discuss in his Tuesday night speech.

The trip is part of the president’s five-state tour courting voters who will be critical to his re-election. He’ll stop in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Phoenix on Wednesday, then Las Vegas and Denver on Thursday.

Obama will speak in Detroit on Friday.

White House press secretary Jay Carney had said the tour will focus on economic growth and job creation.

While Obama carried all of the states except Arizona in 2008, they’re expected to be major battlegrounds in the upcoming election.
