A local spokesman for Trump's campaign said the Secret Service had not been able to complete preparations in time for the Sunday afternoon event.

"Trump wants to come here, and the campaign is still looking to find a location for either Sunday or Monday," Eric Deters, a Trump campaign spokesman in Ohio, told the Cincinnati Enquirer.

The controversy around Sunday's Ohio appearance comes after Trump abruptly canceled a rally in Chicago on Friday night over security concerns as protesters clashed with his supporters ahead of Trump's planned appearance. Hundreds of protesters had filled several sections of the arena, and gathered outside the venue.

Trump's campaign said in a statement that he "has determined that for the safety of all of the tens of thousands of people that have gathered in and around the arena, tonight’s rally will be postponed to another date."

Police arrested five people connected to the Chicago rally, and three people, including a police officer, were injured, according to the fire department.
