剛剛貼了一篇白宮發言人特地發信澄清川普沒有討論支持郭台銘選總統的爆卦
https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Gossiping/M.1556861789.A.EA5.html
沒想到一下子就爆了，那只好再繼續爆更多的料了

郭台銘見到川普嗨不到半天，但美媒報導，川普可能是要郭台銘遵守承諾，別再跳票

美國全國公共廣播電台(NPR)：
President Trump's Foxconn Promise, So Far Unfulfilled
美國總統川普的富士康承諾，至今仍未兌現
https://tinyurl.com/y3b96gbp

幫大家概略翻一下內文，原文我會附在文章最後，有興趣的可以自己看：
兩年前，川普到威斯康辛州密爾瓦基外，跟富士康的郭台銘一起為富士康承諾的新廠房動
土。當時富士康承諾在2032年以前，會在威斯康辛州創造13000個工作機會。

而川普也用富士康的投資作為宣傳，「這是美國工人、製造業可以自豪的一天，也是那些
始終相信『美國製造』的人勝利的一天」

但2年過去了，州政府幫富士康喬好的500萬平方公尺的土地幾乎都還是荒廢狀態



川普的威州競選辦公室的媒體秘書對媒體表示，「希望威州州長跟總統合作，一起讓那些
工作機會變成真實的。」
------------------------------

川普的競選人員都這樣說了，這次川普召見郭台銘，更像是債主找欠債的人討錢吧?
說好的13000個工作機會呢?拿了500萬平方公尺的土地不做事?2年了要做事了嗎?

另外，補充一些為什麼川普會對郭台銘害他跳票那麼在意的背景知識


結果就是，共和黨輸掉威斯康辛州州長選舉，現在可能還連帶影響川普的總統連任之路


一直對川普不友善的幾家美國媒體，早就拿郭台銘跳票這件事在攻擊川普了

像是金融專業的WSJ華爾街日報4/29的報導：
Foxconn Tore Up a Small Town to Build a Big Factory—Then Retreated
富士康為了想蓋大工廠，拆了一個小鎮─然後富士康就跳票了

專門以科技新聞為主的Verge 4/10的報導
FOXCONN IS CONFUSING THE HELL OUT OF WISCONSIN
Last summer, Foxconn announced a barrage of new projects in Wisconsin — so
we went looking for them
富士康在威斯康辛州造成極大的混亂
去年夏天，富士康宣布在威斯康辛宣布了新的計畫─我們到現場實地看看

兩家媒體的記者到了富士康在威斯康辛的基地，發現富士康的工廠根本沒進度
拆了一個小鎮，結果蓋給居民的新房子品質低落，新工作機會也遲遲沒出現

President Trump's Foxconn Promise, So Far Unfulfilled

Nearly two years ago, President Trump stood in the East Room of the White
House and announced that Taiwan-based Foxconn — a major supplier of Apple
technology — was going to build its first U.S. manufacturing facility,
outside Milwaukee.

"This is a great day for American workers, and manufacturers, and for
everyone who believes in the concept, and the label, 'Made in the USA,' " the
president boasted.

But last summer, the agreement with Foxconn started to crack. The company
first said it would reduce the size of the LCD display screens it would make,
meaning fewer promised manufacturing jobs. And Wisconsin's Republican Gov.
Scott Walker, who had enticed the company with up to $3 billion in state tax
credits, lost his reelection bid.

Then, over the winter, another shocker — the company said it might not build
a manufacturing plant after all. Trump hurriedly intervened, and within days
he got Foxconn to recommit to building the facility, he says.

The company says it is in early phases of construction of the advanced
manufacturing plant. But the project has gone through so many changes that
nearly everyone involved with it has more questions than answers. Wisconsin's
new Democratic governor, Tony Evers, says he doubts Foxconn will ever create
the 13,000 jobs that were promised by 2032.

"I truly believe that they believe at some point in time they'll have 13,000
employees here. I'm not sure about that. It's a smaller footprint. It's a
different type of job," Evers told news reporters in Milwaukee last week.
"But we'll see. I mean, if they create 1,000 jobs, that's 1,000 jobs we
didn't have." He added that Foxconn now wants to change its agreement with
the state.

That same day, Foxconn's U.S. director of strategic initiatives, Alan Yeung,
tweeted that people should "Calm down" about the job target. At a Milwaukee
awards ceremony for innovative technology, he stressed that the company is
still committed to making Wisconsin a global technology hub.

"So, I think we need to take a deep breath and say tax credits are important.
But we don't make decision solely based on tax credits," Yeung told reporters.

There are unconfirmed reports that Terry Gou, the Foxconn chief, is heading
to the White House for meetings this week. Foxconn officials also say they
are ramping up building the manufacturing plant in Racine County.

>From the edge of the 1,200-acre Foxconn manufacturing property, an observer
can see that the farms once on this land are gone. A lot of the ground is
bare. Foxconn has put up only one building, what it calls a multipurpose
structure. Earth movers, sometimes in groups of three or four, are hauling
around piles of dirt.

Around the perimeter of the property, roads are being widened. Racine County
Executive Jonathan Delagrave says he is happy with the pace of construction.
"Look, you can see the transformation happening. And, it's really ... I think
a great thing for us, " he said.

But some residents here remain skeptical that the jobs will ever come.
Recently, Gou said he is scaling back his company duties as he runs for
Taiwan's presidency. Resident Jeff Loken says that could be a problem. "He
was the main pipeline for President Trump to get this agreement. So what
happens now? Terry Gou isn't going to be in charge. Someone else is,
presumably. Is he going to go along with the same thing?" Loken asked.

There's even uncertainty among Wisconsin business leaders who have supported
Foxconn, like Tim Sheehy, the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce
president. Sheehy says it's time for some real benchmarks to be met. "That at
some point this summer, the [manufacturing] building starts to go up, the
capital equipment comes in and the jobs start to flow. Up until that point,
everybody will be at some point of unease," he said.

It's that unease that has surrounded this ambitious plan from the very
beginning.

Over the weekend, as Trump held a rally in Wisconsin, his campaign press
secretary told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that she doesn't know why the
state's governor isn't more "optimistic and hopeful" that Foxconn will bring
the promised 13,000 jobs to the state. She encouraged him to work with the
president and company to "make sure those jobs come here."

But with up to $3 billion in state tax credits on the table, officials and
residents across Wisconsin are still looking for the jobs that money was
supposed to lure.
