President Donald Trump traveled to the American state of Wisconsin last week to attend a groundbreaking ceremony for a factory. The factory is being built in an old farming community called Mount Pleasant. The Taiwan-based technology company Foxconn Technology Group will use the plant.

Trump joined Foxconn President Terry Gou, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and other officials at the ceremony on Thursday. Many people expressed hope that the $10 billion project will help the state’s economy.

Trump described the company’s plans for a high-tech center as “the eighth wonder of the world.”

The president’s visit came as he criticized Harley-Davidson, one of Wisconsin’s leading manufacturers.

The company recently said it will move some of its production overseas because of a European Union (EU) decision. EU officials announced plans for a 31 percent tariff on motorcycles made in the United States. The EU said it approved the new tax to answer Trump’s decision to place tariffs on foreign-made aluminum and steel.

The Harley-Davidson announcement angered the president. Trump expressed his displeasure on the Twitter social messaging service.

"Harley-Davidson should stay 100% in America, with the people that got you your success…I’ve done so much for you, and then this. Other companies are coming back where they belong! We won’t forget, and neither will your customers or your now very HAPPY competitors!" Trump wrote.
