President Trump welcomed Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison in Wapakoneta, Ohio at Pratt Industries, along with factory owner Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt, as he touted an “economic revival” of the manufacturing industry with the promise of more foreign investment and a surge in new jobs.
“We proudly declare Pratt Industries and the great, great state of Ohio open for business…Pratt has pledged, as I said, to invest many billions in the United States” Trump told a packed crowd as they chanted “U-S-A, U-S-A…”
“When this plant is fully operational, hundreds of Ohio workers will have full-time jobs, with quality healthcare, retirement benefits and really great wages…..I’m especially excited to announce that 1 in 4 workers at this plant is a veteran” Trump added.
