MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis. (AP) -- House Speaker Paul Ryan plans to talk tax reform at a Harley-Davidson factory outside of Milwaukee.

   Ryan was scheduled to tour the factory in Menomonee Falls on Monday, hold a round table discussion with company leaders and then take questions from reporters.

   Ryan's office says he plans to discuss issues affecting American manufacturing, including tax reform and free trade. Engines and transmissions for Harley motorcycles are made at the 900,000-sqaure-foot factory.

   Republicans are determined to overhaul the nation's tax code after more than three decades, delivering on a top legislative priority for President Donald Trump.

   Ryan has been out front making the pitch to modernize the tax code for the first time since 1986.
