GM To Increase Truck Manufacturing In Indiana Following Trump Tariffs
According to a report from the left-wing outlet Reuters, General Motors has announced it will increase truck production in Indiana following President Trump’s new reciprocal tariffs policy.
The Fort Wayne plant in Indiana manufactures the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks, which are also produced in Canada and Mexico.
According to the report, many current employees may receive overtime pay to help boost production, and GM may hire new workers to support the increase.
Trump is trying to shift the U.S. economy from a service-based economy back to a manufacturing and production-focused economy. The markets have not responded well to the tariffs, but GM’s announcement is exactly what the administration is looking for.
Reversing the decline in many blue-collar communities caused by the loss of manufacturing jobs is a formidable challenge for the administration. Trump ran on that promise, and he is keeping it by attempting to reverse the damage caused by “free trade.”
