U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is embarking on what he is calling a "thank you tour" Thursday with a campaign-style rally in Cincinnati, Ohio, hours after he appears in Indiana to tout an agreement with air conditioner maker Carrier to keep about 1,000 jobs there.
Ohio was one of the key swing states that helped deliver Trump an election victory over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Trump has not detailed where else his tour will go.
Carrier said earlier this year it was relocating the Indiana operations as a cost-cutting move. The company said in a statement Wednesday that factors in its decision to stay included financial incentives from Indiana and a promise from the incoming Trump administration to "create an improved, more competitive U.S. business climate."
The deal is a win for Trump, who made frequent promises during his campaign for president that he would prevent companies from moving jobs outside the country, and bring back jobs that already have been lost.
美国当选总统川普星期四要在俄亥俄州辛辛那提举办一个与竞选造势活动类似的集会，开启他所说的“答谢之旅”。在前往辛辛那提之前，川普走访印第安纳州，宣传与开利空调制造厂达成的一项协议，根据该协议，开利会将大约一千个工作机会留在美国。
在这次总统大选中，俄亥俄州是帮助川普战胜前美国国务卿希拉里∙克林顿的重要摇摆州之一。目前还不清楚，川普的答谢之旅要具体走访哪些地方。
开利公司今年早些时候曾表示，为了节省开支准备将印第安纳的工厂搬走。该公司在星期三发表的声明中说，他们决定留下来的原因包括印第安纳州提供的财政优惠以及即将上任的川普政府承诺要“创造一个更好、更有竞争力的美国商业环境”。
开利公司的决定对川普来说是一次胜利。他在竞选中曾不断强调，作为总统他将尽力阻止企业向海外转移工作机会，并努力让已经外流的工作机会重新流回美国。
