The Chandler facility has featured prominently in American politics before. A company executive originally
announced the factory in
February 2011, after giving a tour of Intel’s Hilsboro, Ore. plant to then-president Barack Obama.
In Jan. 2012, Obama visited the Chandler construction site on a tour of potential swing states in the election later that year, using it as a backdrop for a speech in which he talked about a vision for an economy built on American manufacturing.
“When this factory is finished, Intel will employ around 1,000 men and women,”
Obama said. “As an American, I’m proud of companies like Intel, who create jobs here.”
In 2014, Intel announced it would postpone the facility's opening
amid decreased global demand for its products,
the Oregonian reported at the time. For years, the factory has stood as an empty shell while Intel focused on other facilities.
Another Obama deal, handed to Trump the shit eater
