Donald Trump warns USA companies of punishment for leaving country

“And they had a gentleman, worker, great guy, handsome guy, he was on, and it was like he didn’t even know they were leaving”. “It’s awful for business”, Trump said about the existing rate.

The company will get $500,000 per year in state income tax refunds, as long as it keeps at least 1,069 manufacturing jobs in the state.

It turns out the threat wasn’t what made Carrier reconsider its plan.

Former Obama strategist David Axelrod tweeted: “Without knowing details of what was promised, any fair reading is that the Carrier intervention is a good early win” for Trump.

Trump said at the event that other USA companies considering moving jobs overseas will also reconsider.

The fact is, when Carrier announced months ago that it was leaving in, elected leaders had at their disposal exactly the same tools. Until he saw the man on television.

Earlier in the day, Trump visited a manufacturing plant in Indianapolis, where he vowed to make it “very very difficult” for companies to move their operations outside the USA under his administration. The man’s father was apparently in the room where Trump was speaking.

There is also a real question as to whether Trump could affect companies’ decision-making on a regular basis if he really is inclined to try. “That’s why I voted for him”, he told Baldwin during “CNN Newsroom”.

“This has been a very special state to us”, Trump said.

“I actually said I didn’t make it”. They should not become hallmarks of the Trump administration. It was, he explained: “A euphemism”.

Carrier also confirmed Friday that a second factory owned by Carrier corporate parent United Technologies is also still moving to Mexico.

“For us to be able to make our economy more competitive and onshore some of those jobs, rather than watching them go overseas, this is quite a telling start”, Hershman said. “Trust me: We’re going to build that wall”.

Instead of incentives, Trump frequently called for tariffs as high as 35 percent on products produced by companies that move their factories outside the United States.

President-elect Donald Trump says he will nominate retired Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis to lead the Defense Department. The real story, he said, is about Trump’s overall economic plan. “Presidents have enormous latent power and it is the custom of restraint in its use that is one of the important differences between us and banana republics”. “We got to do something.’ And I said, ‘Because we just can’t let it happen'”.

Steve Miles, who has worked at Carrier since he was 18 years old and is now a 31-year veteran of the company, said he was short of words to describe the elation he felt. The tax breaks are “contingent upon factors including employment, job retention and capital investment”, the company said in a statement.

Brian Dyson says he was prepared to look for a new job after 17 years with Carrier Corp. after the February announcement that production from the 1,400-worker plant would be moved to Mexico.

“This deal is no different than other deals that we put together at the IEDC to retain jobs, but the fact is that the difference is that United Technologies depends on the federal government for lots of business”, Mutz told Politico.
