Oh, not one:
FORD
On Jan. 3, 2017, Ford announced plans to cancel a new $1.6 billion plant planned in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Opting not to relocate production outside of the country saved approximately 3,500 U.S. jobs, according to a Ford press release. Instead, 700 additional new jobs will be created from a $700 million expansion of a Michigan plant focused on building high-tech electric and autonomous vehicles along with the Lincoln Continental and Mustang.
In June 2017, Ford announced that it would move its U.S. production of the Ford Focus to China in 2019 without causing a loss of U.S. jobs. Ford already makes the Focus in China for Chinese buyers. But by September 2018, Ford had changed its plans to import the small car to the U.S. from China due to the expense of import tariffs that the Trump administration implemented in July.
DOW Chemical
Dow Chemical’s Chairman and CEO Andrew Liveris announced the company was bringing jobs to the Great Lake State.
The CEO took the stage to describe the company’s’ more than 100-year history in Midland. “We aren’t stopping there,” Liveris said at the rally. “Tonight, in honor of the President-elect and his being here to thank you all, we’ve made a decision.”
Liveris described the new state-of-the-art center that will add several hundred jobs to the 7,000 Dow already provides in the community. “We’re going to use American hard work and American brains,” said Liveris. The center will bring 100 jobs to Midland, plus restore 100 lost to foreign operations.
T***s-Lux
T***s-Lux announced it was “getting ahead of the curve” by shifting more of its production to the U.S. on Dec. 7, 2016. On J*** 6, 2017, it announced its intent to move 100 percent of its manufacturing to the U.S.
The company pledged to move the majority, if not all, of its China operations into a leased warehouse in Hazelwood, Mo.
Sprint
On Dec. 28, 2016, Sprint issued a news release announcing its commitment to bring back or create 5,000 American jobs in 2017. In January of 2017, Sprint announced the creation of 100 new jobs at subsidiary Virgin Mobile’s headquarters in Kansas City, Mo., by summer.
General Motors Company
The day following the e******n, General Motors announced a $900 million investment in an upgrade to facilities in Ohio, Michigan and Indiana for future product programs.
On Jan. 17, 2017, just a few days before the inauguration, GM announced a $1 billion additional investment in U.S. manufacturing operations on top of the $2.9 billion in commitments the company made in 2016. The projects will create or retain 1,500 jobs and develop advanced technology, automobile components and new vehicles.

The president then began negotiations with Carrier by picking up the phone and dialing Greg Hayes, chairman of United Technologies, Carrier’s parent company. Subsequent negotiations resulted in 1,100 jobs remaining in the U.S. Perks for Carrier to stay included $7 million in training grants and conditional tax credits over the next 10 years.
