Fiat Chrysler announces $1 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing, 2,000 new jobs
Fiat Chrysler said Sunday it would spend $1 billion on U.S. manufacturing, including modernizing plants in Michigan and Ohio, in a move that’s set to add 2,000 new jobs, Reuters reported.
According to the company’s plan, the plant in Warren, Michigan will be made capable of producing a pickup truck currently built in Mexico.
The Warren plant will make the new Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer large SUVs. A plant in Toledo, Ohio also will get new equipment to make a new Jeep pickup.
The move by Fiat Chrysler follows a similar recent announcement made by a competing auto brand.
On Tuesday, Ford said it would cancel a $1.6 billion plant planned for Mexico and instead invest $700 million in a Michigan assembly plant. Though CEO Mark Fields said the decision would have gone ahead whether or not Donald Trump was elected president, Fields also said Trump’s “pro-growth policies” gave the company’s executives confidence.
The president-elect has taken many auto manufacturers to task for Mexican production and encouraged building more vehicles in the U.S. He tweeted at General Motors after the Ford announcement on Tuesday, threatening a “big border tax” for producing cars in Mexico and then selling them in the U.S. GM pushed back on that characterization of its business model.
Can I get an Amen? This was my point ALL along. The SOB hasn’t even taken office yet. Meanwhile the drive by are crediting Obama for this sudden surge of Manufacturing Patriotism. This is just the TIP believe me. When he starts rebuilding the military there will be a small mushroom cloud or blue collar heavily bliss.
He is influencing businesses to come back to America and he still isn’t President. Amazing! 😎
When the economy starts ROARING like never before once Trump slams on the accelerator the rag fags will give Obama credit for handing it to Trump. Which everyone, including the half-black bastard son of a whore himself, knows will be complete bull💩.
… & Obama takes credit in … 1 …. 2 ….. 3
I agree, obummer will pat himself on the back
and give himself another award.
Now kick his ass out of the house that used to be
called white.
Looks like Trump has that magic job creating wand Barky said he does not have.
Barky thought only he has a magic wand. A job killing, chaos creating, debt creating, over regulation creating, peaceful race relations destroying, enemies of America encouraging & assisting one.
Without any doubt Trump’s common sense economic plans built from real world experience in building and running businesses encourage companies to invest in the US.
Not mentioned in any report is the stable political environment businesses can now count on with the decimation of the class warfare Marxist democrat party. Contrast that with the unpredictable Mexican climate controlled by drug lords as corrupt elected officials continue to lose control.
Where’s the reporting about the gasoline riots all over Mexico?
