U.S. President-elect Donald Trump visited a factory in Indiana on Thursday to kick off a "thank you tour" for his election win and celebrate persuading air conditioner maker Carrier Corp. to preserve around 1,000 jobs in the state rather than move them to Mexico.
The Republican businessman toured the plant in Indianapolis and shook hands with workers on an assembly line. He made remarks there later in the day.
In an early victory for Trump before he takes office on Jan. 20, Carrier said this week it agreed to keep more than 1,000 jobs at the plant and at its headquarters, while still planning to move more than 1,000 other U.S. jobs to Mexico.
