Washington (CNN)Donald Trump staked his credibility as a negotiator -- the underpinning of his grand entrance to politics -- on a very specific claim.
He wouldn't just stop the trend of globalization and outsourcing. He'd convince Carrier -- an Indianapolis-based air-conditioning manufacturer -- to abandon its plans to eliminate more than 2,000 Hoosier jobs and shift its production to Mexico.
Well before even taking office, he's delivered -- Tuesday night the company announced it would keep about 1,000 of those jobs in Indiana.
And he's shed light on how he might use the levers of government to pressure companies that plan to ship jobs overseas in the future, too.
