The real reason overseas manufacturing is coming to America

    If I didn’t get elected, he definitely would not be spending $10 billion, President Donald trump said Wednesday, referring to Terry Gou, chairman of Taiwanese Apple (AAPL) supplier Foxconn. That evening, Trump announced Foxconn’s plans to build a plant in Wisconsin that would produce flat-screen display panels for TVs and other products. The plant would create 3,000 jobs and represent a $10 billion investment, according to White House officials. While the investment echoed Trump’s promise to bring jobs back to the US, the president can hardly take all the credit for Foxconn’s big move. The relocation of China’s manufacturing industry has been going on for years, as the long-time cost advantage of manufacturing in China has slowly declined. Lower input costs, strong demand ...

UK Seeks Smoother Brexit to Keep Life as Normal for Longer

    Prime Minister Theresa May is keeping Britain on track for a hard Brexit, but she wants the journey away from the European Union to be longer and smoother than initially planned. After weeks of wrangling since her Conservative Party lost its parliamentary majority, May’s government still seems determined to leave the single market and customs union that give Britain free, frictionless trade with the bloc. What’s changed is that, according to Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond, there’s now a consensus among senior ministers that even if the U.K. will departs the EU in March 2019, nothing should change the next day. Instead, the cabinet wants the status quo to run for two or three years. We have to develop a plan that will deliver for the British people business as u...

Philip Hammond confirms UK will seek Brexit transitional deal

    Britain’s relationship with the EU three years after Brexit may look similar to its current one, with free movement, access to the single market and an inability to strike trade deals with other countries, Philip Hammond has said. The chancellor confirmed multiple reports over the last week that the cabinet had agreed to seek a transitional period of around three years, ending before the next election due in 2022. He said there was broad consensus in the cabinet that such a period would be necessary to cushion the impact of leaving the EU. The agreement was made last week but not announced by Theresa May, who has left the UK for a three-week holiday. Instead, the news has seeped out from other cabinet ministers, and was confirmed by Hammond on Friday morning. Speaking on B...
