Senator Graham is pushing Trump to vote for Lockheed Martin to build 350 new jets for the Air Force. If Lockheed wins, it would add 200 jobs to the Upstate and at least $8 billion in business.
Currently, 4 aerospace companies are vying for the contract, including Boeing.
Part of the Lockheed jets would be made in South Korea then shipped to Greenville. This would also help maintain friendly relations with South Korea, which is encouraged due to the threat from North Korea.
