Australian Manufacturing CEO is Investing $2 Billion in US Because of ‘Confidence in Trump’

“We have enormous confidence in President Trump. He’s doing a wonderful job, and we think he will continue to do a great job,” Pratt said. “He’s reducing unemployment. As we saw today, the job figures show unemployment is the lowest it’s been for a decade, and he’s supporting manufacturing.”

“And that’s why we are doubling down on our investment in the United States, creating 7,000 high-paying manufacturing jobs, mainly in the Midwest,” Pratt added.

Fox Business reporter Elizabeth MacDonald asked Pratt in which states these new manufacturing jobs would be located.
