Foxconn chairman Terry Gou met Trump at the White House to discuss the status of the Taiwanese company's planned investment in Wisconsin. The company pledged to create 13,000 jobs and build a $10 billion campus, but has been reconsidering its plans
WASHINGTON - Foxconn chairman Terry Gou met U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on Wednesday to discuss the status of the Taiwanese company's planned investment in Wisconsin, Foxconn said on Thursday.
The White House has repeatedly refused to confirm if any visit was planned and did not immediately comment on Thursday.Gou, a billionaire who said last month he would run for president of Taiwan in 2020, also told Trump he would seek U.S. support for his country if he wins, The South China Morning Post newspaper reported.
Foxconn, formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd, said last month it remained committed to its contract to build a display plant and tech research facilities in Wisconsin, days after Governor Tony Evers said he wanted to renegotiate the deal. The 20-million-sq-foot Wisconsin campus, announced at a White House ceremony in 2017, marked the largest planned greenfield investment by a foreign-based company in U.S. history and was praised by Trump as proof of his ability to revive American manufacturing. Trump attended a formal groundbreaking in June 2018.
