On June 28, 2018, Trump traveled to Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, and announced that Foxconn, the Taiwanese electronics company, would be building a 20-million-square foot manufacturing facility. Trump said that he had secured an agreement from his "friend," Foxconn chairman Terry Gou, to invest $10 billion and create 13,000 jobs.
Trump dubbed the facility the "Eighth Wonder of the World" and claimed it was proof his policies were "restoring America’s industrial might."
But while Foxconn agreed to Trump's demand to keep calling the facility an LCD factory, there was "no further information on the focus of the facility, the size of the investment, or the jobs that will be created." Since then, things have gone downhill.
"Foxconn received a permit to change its intended use from manufacturing to storage."
Eighth wonder of the world? As in wondering where the jobs are I suppose.
