The American president, in the middle of the electoral campaign, emphasizes that the project based in the town of Racine will allow the creation of some 2,300 jobs during the construction phase and then 2,000 permanent positions.
In a statement, Biden adds that the program must replace a project carried out six years ago by the Trump administration, which was supposed to result in the creation of a Foxconn site specializing in the manufacturing of LCD screens.
