Trump attributed the news to his election, saying that the move from Sprint came, “because of what is happening and the spirit and the hope.”
Trump also announced that a new company, OneWeb, was going to be hiring 3,000 people. “So we have a combination of Sprint with 5,000 jobs and that’s coming from all over the world and also OneWeb,” Trump said.
“The company anticipates these jobs will support a variety of functions across the organization including its Customer Care and Sales teams,” Sprint said in an email to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Sprint said it plans to immediately begin discussions with its, “business partners, states and cities to determine the right locations in the U.S. to create these jobs,” and expect to add the 5,000 jobs by the end of the 2017 fiscal year.
