President Joe Biden has just announced that Microsoft is planning to build a $3.3 billion data center in southeastern Wisconsin, right on the site where Foxconn, an electronics manufacturer company backed by Trump that was supposed to make a $10 billion investment in 2017 but was scaled back by several fold, is located.

"I'm here to talk about a great comeback story in America," said Biden as he talked about the planned investment of Microsoft to about 200 persons at the Gateway Technical College's Sturtevant campus, CNBC reported. The region has been badly hit by declines in manufacturing, and the announcement of Microsoft will be a welcoming development.

Biden also noted that the investment would render to be transformative, not only in Wisconsin, but even worldwide. As he went on his speech, he also took the opportunity to underscore the importance of keeping promises, saying that his predecessor made promises that he broke, while on his watch, they make promises and such promises will be kept.
