Trump’s Foxconn factory deal in Wisconsin is close to falling apart: report

President Donald Trump’s widely touted deal to bring more manufacturing jobs to Wisconsin looks like it’s on the verge of falling apart.

A new Reuters report claims that Foxconn, which has received billions of dollars in incentives to open a plant in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is now reconsidering its original plans to manufacture LCD panels in the United States.

In fact, Foxconn has now said that it “intends to hire mostly engineers and researchers rather than the manufacturing workforce the project originally promised.”
