Trump makes jobs deal with Carrier Carrier Corporation announced on Tuesday that it will keep nearly 1,000 jobs in Indiana that had been set to be moved to Mexico, after it came to a deal with Trump. The air-conditioning company announced on Twitter that it had to an agreement with the president-elect and Vice-President-elect Mike Pence, Indiana's governor, and they will appear at Carrier's Indiana factory to announce details of the deal on Thursday. Carrier came under the spotlight in February after a video of the company's management announcing its plans to shut down two factories that employed 2,100 people and move them to Mexico went viral. Trump made the company a running theme throughout his campaign, which emphasized his promise to fight trade deals and prevent jobs leaving the country. Trump reaches deal to keep 1,000 jobs at Indiana plant from moving to Mexico Brennan: Don't tear up Iran deal John Brennan, the CIA director, has warned President-elect Trump against making any rash decisions regarding the Iran deal. In a candid interview with the BBC, Brennan said opposition to the deal was the "height of folly". "I think it would be disastrous, it really would: for one administration to tear up an agreement that a previous administration made would be almost unprecedented." The outgoing CIA director raised alarm bells about Trump's potential foreign policy, including Trump's admiration for Vladimir Putin, his anti-Islamic rhetoric and his willingness to use torture.
Tearing up US deal with Iran would be disastrous, says CIA chief Clinton makes move on recount Hillary Clinton intervened in the official recount lawsuit for the first time on Tuesday, after she declared her support for having the votes in Wisconsin recounted by hand. Green party presidential candidate Jill Stein had brought a lawsuit against the state of Wisconsin to force the state to recount the votes by hand, after the state's electoral commission said it would allow counties to use electronic machines. Clinton "respectfully supports the issuance of an order requiring a manual recount of all ballots cast in the presidential election in Wisconsin", attorney Joshua Kaul said in the motion, according to the Madison Capital Times. Stein's request was denied on Tuesday, after a judge ruled that counties could decide how they wanted to count the votes. Stein is seeking full recounts in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan, all states where Trump beat Clinton narrowly. A coalition of election security experts and activists pushed Stein to enact a recount due to concerns that foreign hackers could have sabotaged the presidential election by tampering with electronic vote counting machines.
