President Trump Wins Big Ohio Manufacturing Investment from Australia's Pratt Industries

“President Trump welcomed Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison in Wapakoneta, Ohio at Pratt Industries, along with factory owner Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt, as he touted an ‘economic revival’ of the manufacturing industry with the promise of more foreign investment and a surge in new jobs,” Suzanne O'Halloran reports for Fox Business.

“We proudly declare Pratt Industries and the great, great state of Ohio open for business . . . Pratt has pledged, as I said, to invest many billions in the United States,” the President said to a “U-S-A”-chanting crowd.

“Pratt is creating 5,000 new jobs, helped in part by Trump's tax cuts which included lowering the corporate tax rate to 21 percent from 35 percent,” O’Halloran writes. “Trump noted foreign companies invested $250 billion in the United States last year alone.”
