(The Epoch Times)—Whirlpool CEO Marc Bitzer said President Donald Trump’s tariff policies have created a “level playing field” for expanding U.S. manufacturing and incentivizing companies to invest in domestic production.
“What the tariff policy does [is] it makes a business case, an economic business case, just much more attractive,” Bitzer told Fox News in an Oct. 15 interview.
His remarks came as Whirlpool announced a $300 million investment in its U.S. laundry manufacturing facilities, a move the company described as “one in a series of strategic commitments to grow its American manufacturing footprint.”
Bitzer told Fox News that without Trump’s tariff measures, the company might have reduced, delayed, or possibly reconsidered the investment. But now, he said, Whirlpool views the policy landscape as stable enough to justify long-term commitments. more
No shit. It blows my mind that all these micro, macro, highly indoctrinated economists can’t seem to grasp this. Probably to simple.
So that’s why Whirlpool is lowering the cost of their machines….NOT!
Maybe they can afford to upgrade the quality if they are not in a price war with cheap imports.
OT
Just watched POTUS Live meeting with Zelensky.
Did you?
I watched CNN and did you?
If you did, didn’t you find it funny that the very first thing CNN did after the meeting was to discuss ways in which to undermine all the positions President Trump is trying to negotiate?
It’s like the Enemy Within.
I can’t wait until they bring back the Maytag repairman as a black dude…
I think Maytag is made in China or South Korea. Don’t quote me.
Whirlpool is made in China or South Korea as well. They’ve got the washing machine market cornered.
AHHH There is a washer dryer made in the USA – Speed Queen – made in Wisconsin.
GE has Appliance Park in Louisville.
Used to and may still make dishwashers…
