UTC is the parent of Sikorsky Helicopters and Pratt & Whitney jet engines.

Want to keep those contracts? Here’s what you’re going to do.

I would expect to see the same treatment for GE.

And if that was a bargaining chip, I could care less.

Whatever it takes to keep jobs here. When we lose manufacturing jobs, we lose the multiplier effect in those communities and that means more dependency, more social costs, and more opportunities for bad liberal ideas to thrive.

Sikorsky was sold to Lockheed Martin.

Nevertheless, UTC Aerospace Systems and other divisions (like P&W) are heavily vested as defense contractors. So yeah, I'm sure Mr. Trump leveraged the government's position of influence to help them make their decision.

Art of the Deal, baby!!

They sold Sikorsky last year.

Still have Pratt Whitney.
