I’ve asked this question several times here without an answer. So I’ll ask it again. What special incentives did Trump offer Carrier to keep jobs in the US? The article stated that tax breaks were from the State of Indiana. If anything it appears Trump used threats of tariffs and not cozy cronyism.

The question is irrelevant. Any insider deal struck has to be juxtaposition against the current environment of almost nil import tariffs which facilitates global labor arbitrage. To me this flies in the face of common sense and is an unnatural, unsustainable environment for a nation devolving economically and de industrializing. The crony capitalism you seek to find is festering on K Street and not at the office the President elect.

The question is hardly irrelevant. Either Trumps offered targeted incentives, or he didn’t. I’ve yet to see any evidence that he did, yet he is criticized for doing so.
