General Motors plans to invest $4 billion in domestic manufacturing over the next two years.
The automaker states that the move will enable it to assemble more than two million vehicles per year right here in the United States.
Plants in Michigan will also be expanding their production.
Orion assembly will start producing full-size SUVs and light-duty pickup trucks in early 2027.
Factory Zero will produce much of the company’s electric vehicle offerings.
“GM’s decision to invest billions in American plants and prioritize U.S. workers is exactly why we spoke up in favor of these auto tariffs. The writing is on the wall: the race to the bottom is over. We have excess manufacturing capacity at our existing plants, and auto companies can easily bring good union jobs back to the U.S. They can prove the naysayers wrong by investing in our communities and putting workers before corporate greed. GM is showing that it can be done.
We’ll work with anyone—Democrat, Republican, or independent—who’s serious about ending the ‘free trade’ disaster and building an economy that respects working-class people. But let’s be clear: tariffs without worker power just mean bigger paydays for the boss. Tariffs increase profits—but only unions increase wages. Tariffs can protect an industry. Only unions can protect workers.”
