President-elect Donald Trump visited the Carrier air conditioner factory in Indiana, praising the company decision to keep 1,100 jobs in the United States, reversing their plans to move the jobs to Mexico.
During his speech, Trump revealed that he was watching a news report a week ago that featured a Carrier worker who was convinced that the president-elect was going to save their jobs.
Trump admitted that it inspired him to pick up the phone and call Greg Hayes the chair of United Technologies, the company that owned Carrier to convince him to reverse his decision.
Pence and Trump worked out a $7 million tax break deal with the company to convince them to stay in the United States.
Trump toured the factory and visited with some of the workers, some who showed off their “Make America Great Again” hats and took pictures with the president-elect.
