As we know, Apple is immersed in improving the image given in its own country, since after Trump's arrival at the Oval Office, it has been accused of being unpatriotic, among other accusations, for having the vast majority of production processes outsourced outside the United States.

Therefore, as part of that image improvement proposed during this year 2017, Apple has urged its assembly and production companies to move part of their efforts to North America, despite the added costs. It seems that one of the first destinations will be Wisconsin.

It has reportedly been leaked that one of the people involved in the negotiations has confirmed state talks with Foxconn, the Cupertino-based company's main producer. The state of Michigan, he says, is also in the bid.

In January Foxconn revealed that it would invest around $ 7 billion with Apple to open display factories and assembly lines in the United States. Sharp, now a subsidiary controlled by Foxconn, would be the company involved in the project.

In the words of Tom Still, president of the Wisconsin Council of Technology, referring to this information:

«It would be great for the state of Wisconsin for many reasons. I suppose Foxconn is attracted to the fact that there is already a skilled workforce here, and there is a foundation to produce more such workers through the universities of technology and the other parts of the educational system. "

A plant like the one envisioned by Foxconn in Wisconsin, would create a total of between 30.000 and 50.000 jobsTherefore, the repercussion received from rumors of manufacturing and assembly in that state is normal.

Recently, Trump spoke between the lines of the negotiations that are taking place:

“We could have a very happy surprise soon. We are dealing with a major, incredible manufacturer of telephones, computers and televisions. "
