US President-elect Donald Trump has said American corporations that relocate abroad will be punished under his administration.
Trump made the remarks on Thursday in Indianapolis, the capital of the state of Indiana, as he announced an agreement with air conditioning manufacturer Carrier to keep jobs in the United States.
“Companies are not going to leave the United States any more without consequences. Not going to happen,” Trump told workers at the Carrier plant.
