General Motors CEO Mary Barra expressed tentative optimism about how President-elect Donald Trump’s America First agenda will affect the manufacturing industry during his second term.
Trump has promised to enact massive tariffs on competitor countries in order to bring back manufacturing jobs to the United States in cities such as Detroit, where GM and other top automotive companies are based.
During an Automotive Press Association event Wednesday evening, Barra weighed in on what she thinks about the incoming administration’s economic priorities, saying she believes they are “very goal-aligned.”
