Trump just tweeted SoftBank, a Japanese multinational telecoms company, has agreed to invest $50 billion in the US and create 50,000 new jobs. Trump said the CEO said he would never do this if Trump had not been elected.

I believe SunBank acquired struggling Sprint a few years ago.

Interesting. Is this contingent upon lowered tax rates?

CNN will find something wrong with this deal, unless all 50,000 jobs go to African Americans.

This is massive!

Trump was right, Carrier was just the tip of the iceberg.

He's not even in the White House yet. What did Obama do at this point in the process as President-Elect?
Can anyone tell me?
