Not going to happen,” the US Republican said on a visit to a Carrier Corp plant in Indianapolis, Indiana. It is unclear what steps would have to be taken by US authorities before Trump could retaliate against individual companies shifting jobs abroad. Trump also did not address whether Carrier’s parent company, United Technologies Corp, would face any consequences for continuing with plans to move 1,300 other Indiana jobs to Mexico. Apparently under pressure from Trump, Carrier announced this week it had agreed to keep more than 1,000 jobs at the plant and at its headquarters, while still planning to move more than 1,000 other US jobs to Mexico. Carrier still plans to move 600 jobs from the plant to Mexico, the Wall Street Journal said.
