General Motors plans to invest $4 billion in American assembly plants, including moving production of two Mexican vehicles to the U.S. GM will add assembly of gas-powered Chevrolet Blazer and Equinox to U.S. plants and convert a Michigan plant to make gas-powered SUVs and trucks. The investment will allow GM to assemble more than two million vehicles per year in the U.S.

UAW President Shawn Fain supports Trump’s tariffs and hailed GM’s investment as a win for American workers. GM’s capital spending guidance remains unchanged at $10-11 billion for 2025, with annual spending expected to be between $10-12 billion through 2027. GM executives have been analyzing production amid tariffs, aiming to mitigate costs and strengthen the business.

GM CEO Mary Barra expressed commitment to American manufacturing and supporting jobs through the investment. The move to prioritize gas-powered vehicles over electric ones reflects GM’s focus on current market demands and regulatory environment. The decision to retool Orion Assembly plant for gas products instead of electric vehicles showcases GM’s resilience and strategic adaptability in the industry.
