Foxconn

American workers thanked President Trump as a new Foxconn manufacturing plant broke ground in Wisconsin on Thursday.

“As Foxconn has discovered, there is no better place to build, hire and grow than right here in the United States,” Trump said. “America is open for business — more than it has ever been open for business,” he said.

Apple iPhone supplier Foxconn has announced that it is planning a second manufacturing plant, this one in Michigan. After Foxconn announced a new plant in Wisconsin just last month, these newest jobs are coming to the second state that was key to President Trump’s election in 2016.

President Donald Trump recently claimed that Apple CEO Tim Cook promised to build three new manufacturing plants in the U.S.

A big win for Paul Ryan and Reince Preibus.
