Jack Ma, the founder and chairman of Chinese retail giant Alibaba, says that the company no longer plans to create one million jobs in the United States in the wake of ongoing trade conflict between the US and China.
Ma made his original job creation pronouncement during a high-profile meeting with Donald Trump in January 2017 before Trump's inauguration.
