The 20-million square foot campus was praised by President Donald Trump as proof of his ability to revive American manufacturing.
--
t campus marked the largest greenfield investment by a foreign-based company in U.S. history and was praised by President Donald Trump as proof of his ability to revive American manufacturing.
Foxconn, which received controversial state and local incentives for the project, initially planned to manufacture advanced large screen displays for TVs and other consumer and professional products at the facility, which is under construction. It later said it would build smaller LCD screens instead.
Now, those plans may be scaled back or even shelved, Louis Woo, special assistant to Foxconn Chief Executive Terry Gou, told Reuters. He said the company was still evaluating options for Wisconsin, but cited the steep cost of making advanced TV screens in the United States, where labor expenses are comparatively high.
"In terms of TV, we have no place in the U.S.," he said in an interview. "We can't compete."

This is ridiculous.
Why do you think we have high minimum wages? It’s so Americans will stay out of work and China will be a stronger enemy.
1. It’s Reuters reporting this. Take it with a LARGE gain of salt. No, a salt lick!
2. Wisconsin has a new Governor. A Socialist promoted to his level of incompetence. He’s behind the rumors to appease his constituents who HATE the idea of Wisconsin being out of debt and back in business.
3. I’ll never understand Socialists. Ever.
Trump and Congress needs to make the import tariffs Permanent.
If they are only temporary, then companies are incented to continue relocating to China.
What do you know about the costs of production in Wisconsin?
What do you know about the copetitive costs of Foxcon’s business?
Nothing.
Its not Trump.
Its the new assh0le incompetent libtard wi governor scuttling the deal.
I understand them. Its why I despise them so much.
Not biased in their reporting are they. SARC
I can understand the costs being too high to compete with China, but that fact was known at the time of the promise, and the commitment to build the facility in Wisconsin.
I smell a ploy to make DJT look like a chump this coming election cycle.
Congrats Progressive Wisconsinites voting for your DemRat governor to squash business.

I am not bashing Trump.
Just saying, it is high time for him to stand up on this issue.
I would suggest the new governor is reacting poorly to the gift that includes no union workers.
The union assholes are certainly behind the foxconn move. They have certainly made threats and will in fact work hard to see the plant is never operational without union workers
I think you are correct. Hadn’t considered that aspect of it.
Foxconn needs to set-up in a Republican state.
If Dems are the problem.
But this is ridiculous.

Back when America was great, we had RCA, Magnavox, Zenith. The quality goes in before the name goes on. I don’t know if that’s coming back.
No. When the deal was going through Foxconn assumed that they could get Owens-Corning to come to WI and build a glass panel factory under the same terms, but the legislature said no more subsidies. So that was the end of that. Foxconn makes the high def screens using large glass panels which they get elsewhere.
