World leader in hi-tech heating and air-conditioning solutions, Carrier, has decided they will not be relocating some jobs to Mexico. Instead, they will remain in Indiana thanks to an agreement worked out with Trump and his team.
The Washington Examiner confirmed, “Carrier announced that it was “pleased” to have reached a deal with President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Pence in a tweet sent Tuesday evening.
Trump will travel to Indiana on Thursday to announce the deal, CNBC’s David Faber reported Tuesday evening.
The company said that 1,000 jobs would remain in Indianapolis, out of 1,400 jobs that were supposed to be relocated from Indianapolis to Monterrey. The deal will include incentives from the government, Faber reported.
Carrier had announced in February that it would be moving the jobs, starting in 2017. The manufacturing floor announcement was captured on video, and quickly drew attention, including from Trump as he campaigned for the presidency.
Trump has made keeping the specific jobs in the country a priority following the election, tweeting on Thanksgiving that he was “working hard” on a deal.
The details of any deal, however, were not available Tuesday evening.”
