Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer only in office since January 1, 2019 delivers for Michigan ! MAGA !! WINNING !!
Fiat Chrysler’s decision to expand U.S. production came in response to Trump’s use of tariffs to bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States after years of working and middle class job outsourcing by multinational corporations through multilateral free trade deals.
When Trump threatened last year to impose a 25 percent tariff on pickup trucks made in Mexico, Fiat Chrysler executives considered moving all Ram truck production out of Mexico.
Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley told Reuters last October that in light of Trump’s tentative USMCA trade agreement, the company decided to keep its heavy-duty truck production plant in Saltillo, Mexico, while also expanding production and jobs in the U.S.
“This massive FCA investment in Detroit shows that the president’s aggressive trade strategy is working to rebuild manufacturing and to make the United States the premier place to manufacture automobiles,” Coalition for a Prosperous America CEO Michael Stumo told Breitbart News. “The fact that they are expanding the manufacture of engines and complete vehicles in Michigan shows that the steel tariffs were not an impediment to growth. Thousands more jobs will be created to supply these new plants.”
“President Trump’s threat of auto tariffs likely supported this major investment decision,” Stumo continued. “If the tariffs on imported autos are imposed, it will help FCA’s Jeep and Ram further increase sales and market share, benefitting the Michigan economy and creating even more good paying jobs.”
Nope, Tariff Threats:
Big, beautiful Tariffs. The reason the US Industrialized by 1900 but Mexico did not.
Something else about those big beautiful tariffs - we are all paying for them - not the countries they are imposed on - and we will never see the Golden Days of U.S. Manufacturing circa 1950s 1960s etc - again - period.
We will repair the damage done by the Boomer Managerial Class, who were given so much yet ruined America on so many levels.

The first plant to open in Detroit since 1991.
Shutdown during the "Notcovery" of 2012 and never reopened - until Tariff Power kicked in.
A few thousand other jobs will be added in the US by Fiat-Chrysler, including around 2000 jobs centered around Jeep production.
