MOUNT PLEASANT, U.S. -- iPhone assembler Foxconn formally broke ground on Thursday at its $10 billion factory complex in the state of Wisconsin, a project that supports U.S. President Donald Trump's aim to bring manufacturing back from Asia.
The Taiwanese contract electronics manufacturer, officially Hon Hai Precision Industry, says the project will create 13,000 jobs with an average salary of $54,000 a year. Critics say Wisconsin's promise of $3 billion in state aid for the project is excessive.
