Pence to talk to conservative group at Trump’s new DC hotel
Trump’s pick for treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin, and commerce secretary nominee Wilbur Ross both said that they would pursue bilateral trade agreements with other countries but remained wary of sweeping regional deals. “And, and I know the president-elect has been briefed as he’s been making these calls”, he added. “Five minutes apiece. They won’t be leaving. O.K.?” For one thing, with Carrier, Trump has already shown he doesn’t intend to make use of his own policy, undermining the credibility of his threats.
Rexnord Corporation is a symbol of the challenge confronting Trump.
United Technologies CEO Greg Hayes speaks at Carrier Corp Thursday, Dec. 1, 2016, in Indianapolis.
Trump has already put Rexnord on notice, firing a warning shot via Twitter on Friday.
“You half-way delivered”, Jones said on CNN, citing Trump’s promise to keep all jobs from being shipped to Mexico. “This is happening all over our country”.
Spokespeople for Trump did not respond to the Post’s request for comment. How’s that for standing up to corporate greed?
“I don’t think he’ll save the jobs. I didn’t make it really for Carrier”. “And I know that a better regulatory environment and a lower tax rate, can help UT in the long run”, Hayes said. “If United Steelworkers 1999 was any good, they would have kept those jobs in Indiana”, Trump wrote.
But a union leader says Trump “lied his ass off” about how many jobs would stay in Indiana.
Earlier, US Vice President-elect Mike Pence recently opined that President-elect Donald Trump, with his unparalleled negotiating skills, is likely to play a pivotal role in the Kashmir issue.
What does that mean to us?
In exchange for keeping 800 factory jobs in Indiana, Carrier will receive $7 million in tax breaks over the next decade from the state, which is now still being governed by Vice President-elect Mike Pence.
It’s a scenario playing out across the country.
Ideally, more senior workers at the plant would take the package and retire, which would save the jobs of younger workers. The trade assistance certifications give laid off workers access to unemployment insurance and retraining programs.
According to Jones, Trump’s claim that he saved the jobs of “over 1,100 people” is flatly untrue, based on his interview with The Washington Post on Tuesday.
Bernie Sanders wrote last week that Trump “has signaled to every corporation in America that they can threaten to offshore jobs in exchange for business-friendly tax benefits and incentives”.
But a model for manufacturing job recovery it is not.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said that Mr Trump would have to replicate the Carrier deal 804 times to meet President Barack Obama’s record.
