Experts: Under Trump, GM faces volatile future with more job cuts almost certain
- Experts expect Trump to remove the $7,500 EV tax credit, eroding EV demand. GM can't pivot on a dime, but it will have to re-evaluate its strategy.
The article from Freep.com discusses former President Donald Trump's criticism of General Motors (GM) for moving jobs to China, despite the company's recent agreement with the United Auto Workers (UAW) union.
