Chairman Terry Gou (郭台銘), visited the White House on Thursday, Taiwanese TV footage showed, as the Apple Inc supplier ponders a multibillion-dollar investment in a panel plant in the US.
Footage aired by TVBS yesterday showed Gou entering and leaving one of the entry gates of the White House with senior company executives, including Foxconn vice chairman Tai Jeng-wu (戴正吳), also head of Japanese firm Sharp Corp, in which Foxconn holds a two-thirds stake.
When asked by reporters on his way out of the White House if he had met with US President Donald Trump, Gou said: “My memory is not good. Maybe I already forgot.” [FULL STORY]
