After president-elect Donald Trump announced that he will be moving more than 2,000 jobs from Indiana to Mexico, air conditioning company Carrier Corp. stated that they had made a deal with the Donald Trump to retain 1000 jobs in the State of Indiana. 

According to New York Times, Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence, who is ending his term as Indiana governor, would visit the Carrier Indiana factory to have an agreement along with the company officials. However, the details of the said deal were unsure.

Trump mentioned last week that he was "making progress" on getting Carrier to continue its operation in Indiana. Trump even tweeted on Thanksgiving saying, "I am working hard, even on Thanksgiving, trying to get Carrier A.C. Company to stay in the U.S. (Indiana). MAKING PROGRESS - Will know soon!"

In addition to that, United Technologies Electronic Controls also said that they are planning to relocate its Huntington manufacturing operations to a recently developed plant in Mexico, which will affect 700 northeastern Indiana city workers lose their job by 2018. The said workers create microprocessor-based controls for HVAC and refrigeration industries.

United Steelworkers Local 1999 president, Chuck Jones, Carriers workers representative, stated on Tuesday news: "I'm optimistic, but I don't know what the situation is. I guess it's a good sign. ... You would think they would keep us in the loop. But we know nothing."

During Trump's campaign, he also mentioned to give up Oreos after Nabisco's parent, Mondelez International, stated that it would substitute nine production lines in Chicago with four in Mexico. Ford was also criticized by Trump after the company announced that they will be investing in engine and transmission plants in Mexico for a whopping $2.5 billion.

Trump had spent his entire tenure as president-elect with advisors and conference with possible upcoming Cabinet secretaries, so his public visit in Indiana will make an infrequent public appearance for Trump.

Trump will be making other stops later this week as a "thank you" tour for voters who supported him in his presidential campaign victory.
