From the earliest days of his campaign, Donald J. Trump made keeping manufacturing jobs in the United States his signature economic issue, and the decision by Carrier, the big air-conditioner company, to move 2,000 of them from Indiana to Mexico was a tailor-made talking point for him on the stump.
On Thursday, Mr. Trump and Mike Pence, Indiana’s governor and the vice-president elect, plan to appear at Carrier’s Indianapolis plant to announce they’ve struck a deal with the company to keep a majority of the jobs in the state, according to officials with the transition team as well as Carrier.
Mr. Trump will be hard-pressed to alter the economic forces that have hammered the Rust Belt for decades, but forcing Carrier and its parent company, United Technologies, to reverse course is a powerful tactical strike that will rally his base even before he takes office.
In exchange for keeping the factory running in Indianapolis, Mr. Trump and Mr. Pence are expected to reiterate their campaign pledges to be friendlier to business by easing regulations and overhauling the corporate tax code. In addition, Mr. Trump is expected to tone down his rhetoric threatening 35 percent tariffs on companies like Carrier that shift production south of the border.

George Washington would spit in your face had you uttered those traitorous words.
My countrymen that have watched the USA de industrialize, no profited from it, on the backs of the lower middle class are traitors and scum of the earth. Chances are they will occupy low places in the here after.
I do not consider your ilk my countrymen. I have pretty high standards in that regard. That type are globalist NWO “useful idiots” and not MY countrymen.
A simple 20% import tariff eliminates the annual deficit. There is no other solution.
rather than chop off 2,000 jobs at once, it is best to wean them off 100 at a time
EU growth is around 1.8% on par with the USA.
EU unemployment is actually better than the USA which is really 20%. Nobody believes our labor stats - except you.
You are a globalist hack liar.
Re: 153 the article mentions nothing about building iPhones in the US being a done deal, which is what you initially claimed.
I know it is not a tariff but the VAT is paid on anything imported into the EU or sold there. It is not paid on their exports. It adds to the price of our stuff sold in Europe but not to the price of their stuff sold in the US. It is part of the reason that you do not see much US made stuff sold there.
Are you really worried about that?
Just think of all the money Apple will save by not having to put suicide nets around their buildings in America.
Trump said that he made a deal with apple.
That the liberal media NY times spins it or doeesn’t report it as confirmed doesn’t mean that the deal is not made
Here is more proof of what I said:
Great point!
The first company to hop on the Trump Train!
That could become a slogan.
Given that this news comes about a month before Christmas, it is “yuge”! Instead of unemployment, there’s money for toys under the tree!
Go away. You have nothing to offer and are a waste of time.
So encouraging!
Not going to happen.
Seems like every thread Free Traitors™ are out numbered 100:1. Love it.
Please continue winning, Mr. President-elect. I have not yet grown tired of it.
Trump is showing that idiot in the White House how easy this job really can be WHEN YOU LEAD!!!!
We are always outnumbered by the The Useful-Idiot Command-and-Control Traitors™. The world has always embraced lies much more than the truth. That doesn’t make the lie any less a lie or the truth any less the truth.
Go away, back to your “me too” group. You are a waste of time
So where does George Washington stand? Is he in your group of Useful-Idiot Command-and-Control Traitors™.
“Are you really worried about that?”
I am...NOTHING is beyond realm of possibility with the Democrats/Clintons
