General Motors announced a four billion investment to move part of its production from Mexico to Michigan

General Motors (GM) announced an investment of $4 billion to move part of its production to the United States, specifically to the state of Michigan. The news was initially reported by The Detroit News, from where they noted that the goal is to "spur a manufacturing renaissance in the industrial heartland."

The announcement came months after President Donald Trump announced the imposition of a 25% tariff on foreign auto imports.

Specifically, it concerns the production of full-size SUVs and other lighter pickup trucks, which will be relocated to its Orion assembly plant in suburban Detroit.

According to CNBC, the process will be completed in 2027 and will move the assembly of more than two million vehicles to the United States.

"We believe the future of transportation will be driven by American innovation and manufacturing expertise," said Mary Barra, CEO of General Motors.

"Today’s announcement demonstrates our ongoing commitment to build vehicles in the U.S. and to support American jobs. We're focused on giving customers choice and offering a broad range of vehicles they love," she added.

From the Trump administration, they also celebrated the announcement, stressing that "it adds to billions of dollars in other historic commitments to invest with the 'Make in America' initiative." "No president has taken a stronger interest in reviving America’s once-great auto industry than President Trump," said Kush Desai, a White House spokesman.

In turn, Governor Gretchen Whitmer thanked the company for "bringing more auto manufacturing back home to Michigan, protecting thousands of good-paying, union auto jobs."

As for other cars, they announced that the Equinox will be manufactured in Fairfax and Kansas, while the Blazer, also gasoline-powered, will go to Spring Hill, Tennessee.
