Foxconn Chairman Terry Gou to meet Trump: sources

Taiwanese tycoon likely to discuss Toshiba memory unit and US investment

Terry Gou

TAIPEI -- Chairman Terry Gou of key iPhone assembler Hon Hai Precision Industry, also known as Foxconn Technology Group, is set to meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington on Thursday, according to people familiar with the plan.

The sources did not disclose details of the first-ever encounter between the two. But with Trump's persistent pledge to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S., and Gou's dogged determination to acquire the memory chip business of embattled Japanese conglomerate Toshiba, the two will likely exchange their views on related issues.
