Economic News to Make the Trump Haters Scream
Hard to tell whether the author of article linked to is just naive or deceptive. Would companies have made these investments anyway, regardless of Trump's new tariffs? Would investments have been even more if the tariff plan had never been enacted? Take Apple for instance. Much was made of its plan to spend $500 billion dollars over the next 4 years. But as it turns out... Apple’s $500 Billion U.S. Investment Is Mostly Already in the Books Expansion plan in America is in line with company’s spending pattern and efforts to diversify manufacturing away from China https://archive.ph/Xpt3i Another issue is how many of these investments will actually materialize. As some may recall, during Trump's 1st term... Trump takes credit for Foxconn's 'incredible investment' Taiwanese manufacturing giant Foxconn announced plans to invest $10bn (£7.6bn) in a new factory in the US. The plant, to be located in Wisconsin, is expected to make LCD panels and employ 3,000 people initially. President Donald Trump, claimed credit for Foxconn's "incredible investment" which he said would not have happened if he had not been elected. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-40732035 Foxconn mostly abandons $10 billion Wisconsin project touted by Trump Taiwan electronics manufacturer Foxconn is drastically scaling back a planned $10 billion factory in Wisconsin. Under a deal, Foxconn will reduce its planned investment to $672 million from $10 billion, and slash the number of new jobs to 1,454 from 13,000. The deal was first announced at the White House in July 2017, with then-president Donald Trump boasting of it as an example of how his “America First” agenda could revive U.S. tech manufacturing. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/21/foxconn-mostly-abandons-10-billion-wisconsin-project-touted-by-trump.html What technology is going to revitalize the failed Foxconn center in Wisconsin? The White House on Wednesday announced a $3.3 billion investment by Microsoft to build an AI data center on the site. Part of President Joe Biden’s Investing in America initiative, this project is expected to create 2,300 union construction jobs and 2,000 permanent jobs. Biden even traveled to Mount Pleasant to join Microsoft in making the announcement. https://www.govtech.com/question-of-the-day/what-technology-is-going-to-revitalize-the-failed-foxconn-center-in-wisconsin Finally, to make sense of this number, it would make sense to compare it to investment amounts in previous years, including promises vs reality. -
