President-elect Donald Trump has been in talks with a US company to keep some of its manufacturing jobs from leaving the country. Carrier, an Indiana-based air-conditioning company, announced that it reached a deal with Trump to keep nearly 1,000 jobs in Indiana, the Associated Press reported Tuesday night. “We are pleased to have reached a deal with President-elect Trump & VP-elect Pence to keep close to 1,000 jobs in Indy. More details soon,” Carrier wrote in tweet Tuesday. Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence were expected to appear at a Carrier plant alongside company officials on Thursday, the news wire service said. “Big day on Thursday for Indiana and the great workers of that wonderful state.We will keep our companies and jobs in the U.S. Thanks Carrier,” Trump wrote on Twitter late Tuesday night. As a candidate, Trump often railed against US companies moving jobs across the border and pointed specifically to Carrier, which he said was planning to move some positions from Indiana to Mexico. Trump earlier this month said he persuaded Ford executives to keep a Kentucky production plant from moving to Mexico, but Ford quickly countered that, saying it never planned to move the plant to Mexico in the first place. Ford originally had plans to shift production of one vehicle from its Louisville factory to Mexico, according to the Courier-Journal, but the shift was not expected to affect employment levels at the plant.
