Foxconn, one of the electronics manufacturers that makes Apple’s iPhones, revealed plans today to build a factory in Wisconsin to produce flat-screen displays. Foxconn’s total investment in the Wisconsin factory amounts to $10 billion, more than the original $7 billion that Foxconn had been talking about investing in US manufacturing since Donald Trump took office as President. The factory will create at least 3,000 jobs and upwards of 13,000 jobs, as well as up to 22,000 induced jobs in other parts of Wisconsin. President Trump praised the deal at the press event, claiming it was a win for anyone who “believes in the label ‘Made in the USA.'”
The factory will be located in southeastern Wisconsin in House Speaker Paul Ryan’s congressional district.
