Milwaukee-based Rexnord announced plans in October to move a
bearing plant and its 300 jobs from Indianapolis, employees told
the Indianapolis Star at the time.
"Rexnord of Indiana made a deal during the Obama Administration
to move to Mexico. Fired their employees," Trump tweeted on
Sunday.
The Republican president also tweeted in December about
Rexnord's decision, saying he would stop jobs from being lost to
countries with lower labor costs. "No more!" he tweeted at the
time.
Rexnord did not immediately respond to a telephone call on
Sunday seeking comment outside of normal business hours.
Trump, who campaigned on the promise to put American workers
first, has tweeted at other companies that attracted his ire -
including Lockheed Martin in December for the high cost of the
F-35 fighter jet program, General Motors Co in January for its
manufacturing in Mexico, and retailer Nordstrom <JWN.N> in
February for dropping his daughter Ivanka's clothing line.
