Jared Kushner led the administration’s engagement with Chinese high-tech manufacturing firm Foxconn over the company’s $10 billion investment in Wisconsin, the White House said Wednesday.
The investment, which consists of a display panel factory, is the company’s first foray in manufacturing in the U.S.
“This is a great day for American workers and manufacturing,” President Donald Trump said Wednesday.
Kushner and Reed Cornish led discussion with Foxconn “under President Trump’s direction,” according to the White House.

But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
