Foxconn Deal… Or No Deal?
Early in his presidency, Donald Trump said the Foxconn plant in Wisconsin would be “the eighth wonder of the world” because it would spectacularly revitalize American manufacturing.

Sruthi Pinnamaneni is a reporter at the Reply All podcast who made an episode about the deal called ‘Negative Mount Pleasant’. She talks about how the residents of the Wisconsin village of Mount Pleasant see the deal, and what they’ve been through in the spotlight.
