Foxconn, the Taiwanese electronics manufacturer, last week declared plans to make a plant in Wiscons worth $10 Billion for LCD display panel screen. This was a deal that Donald Trump, the President of the U.S., emphasized and might not have occurred without his hard work.

The firm said it aims to spend $10 Billion over 4 Years to construct a plant of 20 Million Square Foot that might ultimately give jobs to almost 13,000 workers. Trump admired Terry Gou, chairman of Foxconn, at an event at the White House, emphasizing, “If I did not get voted, he absolutely would not be investing $10 Billion. This is a huge day for the country.” Scott Walker, Governor of Wisconsin, this week claimed at the White House that his state will reward $3 Billion as incentives and sign a memo of understanding on the spending.

He told the media at the White House that the state legislature will require to endorse the $3 Billion package of incentives. About 50% is for workforce development and the remaining half is for capital costs.

People having knowledge of Jio’s tactics claimed that the first batch of almost 18–20 Million is expected to be transported in China from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).
