GM Boosts Truck Plant Output By 20 Percent

While some automakers have grumbled about President Trump’s tariffs, GM is responding by ramping up domestic production. CEO Mary Barra told CNBC’s Phil LeBeau that the Fort Wayne Assembly plant would increase truck output by 20 percent.

The move positions GM to capitalize on the shift toward domestic manufacturing that tariffs encourage. Rather than simply absorbing the impact, the automaker is leaning into building more vehicles on American soil to navigate the changing trade landscape.
