US under Trump Series: Sweet GM win for Trump

Days after Ford Motor Company cancelled its $1.6 billion plant in Mexico and said it would invest part of that saved money in the United States and create jobs, followed by an announcement from Fiat Chrysler that it would expand its current manufacturing plants in the United States, General Motor is ready to bow to Trump’s demand of make in the United States.

President-elect Donald Trump took to Twitter to Criticize General Motors over its manufacturing in Mexico. On January 3rd, Trump launched the tweet saying that “General Motors is sending Mexican made model of Chevy Cruze to U.S. car dealers-tax free across border. Make in U.S.A. or pay big border tax!.” After Ford and Fiat announced their expansion plans, Mr. Trump turned up the heat on GM by tweeting, “I hope that General Motors will be following. And I think they will be,”

Finally, this week, the company is ready to announce $1 billion investment in the United States, its biggest market and to create more than 1,000 jobs.

Once GMU announces, it would be another sweet victory for Trump, who has promised to bring back the manufacturing jobs in the United States.
