President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence are heading to Indiana to appear with workers at Carrier’s Indianapolis factory, where Trump claims he has saved 1,000 jobs from being shipped to Mexico. The parent company of the air conditioner company is United Technologies—a multibillion-dollar company whose single largest customer is the Pentagon. Although few details have come out about the deal to keep the jobs in the state, sources say it likely had more to do with Trump threatening to cut United Technologies’ military contracts. According to the Boston Herald, Carrier is, ironically, represented by Teneo Strategies, part of a global private consulting firm co-founded by Douglas Band, a top aide to former President Bill Clinton who worked at the Clinton Foundation.
