CNBC reported Friday morning based on unnamed sources that Vice President-elect Mike Pence has been leading negotiations with Carrier to reach deal that "would likely keep a workforce in the U.S." Trump spokesman Jason Miller was asked about progress made in talks with Carrier on a call with reporters Friday, but he did not answer the question.

2. Notice this,

this is a three year progression from 1400 persons to zero. Yes dickwadd Donnie can say he won the day,but Carrier wins the war three years down the road. Carrier has closed all but one plant and that is the Plant in question. It's a done deal,and Little Donnie will take a major hit from his followers,count on it.
