DJT says Sprint will bring 5k jobs back to the US; OneWeb will create 3k jobs
 [CNBC] President-elect Donald Trump said Wednesday that Sprint will bring 5,000 jobs back to the United States from overseas, while another company OneWeb will add 3,000 jobs in the U.S.Trump said the deal "was done through" SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, a Japanese billionaire and technology investor. Earlier this month, the pair announced in New York that SoftBank agreed to invest $50 billion in the U.S. and aimed to create 50,000 jobs. While President-Elect Trump made a point to announce Sprint would keep or create 5,000 jobs in the U.S., those jobs are part of a previously-announced deal with SoftBank from several weeks ago, a Sprint spokesman told NBC News. "The 5,000 jobs announced today are part of the 50,000 jobs that Masa Son (Masayoshi Son, founder and CEO of SoftBank) announced a few weeks ago, but these jobs will be funded by Sprint," the Sprint spokesman said.
