President Donald Trump announced on Jan 27, that farm equipment maker John Deere will invest $70 million to build an excavator factory in North Carolina.
"It's brand new, the best in the world. And I think It's going to pay off very, very big'', the president said during an event in Iowa. '' We don't make them here. This is going to be the only excavator entirely made in the United States of America'',
The White House later said in a post on X that John Deere will build two new factories in the United States, including one in North Carolina that will help'' move excavator production BACK to America''
