General Motors plans to invest $4 billion to shift production from Mexico to three U.S. plants, including reopening the Orion Assembly plant near Detroit.
The move will bring full-size SUVs and pickups to Orion, Fairfax (Kansas), and Spring Hill (Tennessee), partly driven by rising demand for SUVs and to avoid costly tariffs imposed by President Trump.
GM’s CEO emphasized the commitment to American manufacturing and jobs.
The reshoring is seen as a major win for Trump’s trade policies aimed at reviving U.S. industry.
While GM assured Mexico its plants would continue operating without layoffs, the shift marks a significant step in bringing auto production back to the U.S, The Detroit News has reported.
The move received praise from politicians and labor unions, highlighting its impact on Michigan’s economy and the broader auto sector.
