Trump to Announce Carrier Plant Will Keep Jobs in U.S.
NYTimes/2016/11/29/ ^

Posted on 11/29/2016 4:47:20 PM PST by springwater13

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.

You can bet Carrier will be well on their way back to Mexico if the Hillary recounts in WI, MI and PA flip those states into her column.

We're talking about this universe, not the alternate one that you appear to be wringing your hands about...

Trump called Tim Cook the ceo of Apple.

Trump talked Cook into building the iphone in America again Trump told him that he would reduce taxes and regulations on American companies and that’s what convinced cook to make things in America again.

Estimates now are that the iphone may cost $30 more when build in America.So Trump just exposed another media lie that we can’t make things in the USA cheaply or that prices would go up too much. We can make things in the USA cheaply and now we will thanks to Trump.

China was deindustrializing the USA, sending us back to the animal powered age or the stone age. Reindustrializing the USA , keeping technology in the USA, and creating production wealth and Jobs for Americans is far more important than any supposed minor increases in prices.

Trump also did this with Ford and is working on carrier. Read Trump’s book , Making America Great again, “how to be a billionaire” , Rich dad poor dad,”The Art of the deal”These books will give you the secrets of success, and joy and hope for the future: Trump books

Too many white people in the rust belt for Obama to ever give a crap. Probably considered US companies fleeing to Mexico as payment in kind for new Democrat voters.

The Trump spot light was killing their business. We are shopping for a new HVAC system, and Carrier was not on our list since Trump informed us of their move. We may reconsider, depending on what deal they have struck with The Man.

I listen to Mark Levin and Savage ripping Trump over appointments and then I hear things like this, Sessions as AG, Flynn as NSA, the ripping up of TPP and I reflect: hey, we are getting 80 percent of what we voted for when we would have gotten ZERO from Hillary and zilch from the Bushes. I’d rather have 80 percent.

hahaha. It sounds funny but I can see the media spinning this for the Democrats. Maybe it was the recount that led them to believe that Hillary will be President. They can also claim that when Trump and Obama last spoke Obama helped him close the deal or gave him some ideas. It’s fake news so the possibilities are endless.

He’s not even president yet, and he’s following up on his campaign promises. It’s bitter bile for the Democrats.

He should not tone down his 35% tariff rhetoric. It appears to be having results.

Translation: We at Carrier have had a dose of reality smack us right in the face after Comrade Hillary and the DNC were unable to pull off enough voter fraud.

I read this move was due to E.P.A. crap. Thank you Mr. Trump.
Please make those letters EPA, a footnote in the history books.

If it is so stupid than why do other countries do it? In the EU they do not call the VAT a tariff but it functions as one. It seems to work for them.

Looks like a scene from "The Godfather."

So 'hard-pressed' he already got Carrier to stay and he's not even in office yet.

... but forcing Carrier and its parent company, United Technologies, to reverse course...

Oh, I see, he forced them to stay. And he's not even in office yet.

People need to know this if they are planning on moving anything to Mexico...you do not own it once it's in Mexico...

Yeah it never ceases to amaze me that most Americans have no idea that the first socialist revolution did not happen in Russia.
