President Donald Trump yesterday finished up an important meeting with the CEOs of Ford Motor, General Motors and Fiat-Chrysler. Following the conference, which was said to mostly surround job development and enhancing the United States’ production base, General Motors CEO Mary Barra launched an official statement relating to the conversation.
The statement reads:
“We had a very constructive and wide-ranging discussion about how we can work together on policies that support a strong and competitive economy and auto industry, one that supports the environment and safety. The U.S. is our home market and we are eager to come together to reinvigorate U.S. manufacturing. We all want a vibrant U.S. manufacturing base that is competitive globally and that grows jobs. It’s good for our employees, our dealers, our suppliers and our customers.”
General Motors has been cautioned by President Trump this year, after calling out GM for its Mexico operations. The GM CEO herself mentioned production of the Chevrolet Cruze hatchback would not leave Mexico.
Nevertheless, Barra was likewise tapped to sign up with the president’s Economic Advisory Panel. She and a handful of other entrepreneurs will give private sector insight for President Trump.
