General Motors (GM) is considering shifting some production from Mexico and Canada to the United States. The decision comes in response to the threat of tariffs from US President Donald Trump.
GM CEO Mary Barra stated that the company has production capacity in the US to handle the shift. She also mentioned exploring options to minimize the impact of potential tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico.
GM's move highlights the potential impact of Trump's trade policies on the automotive industry in Mexico. The company is seeking strategies to mitigate risks, including adjustments to its supply chain and selective relocation of manufacturing processes.
Mexico is a key player for GM in terms of production and exports. In 2024, the company manufactured 22.3% of light vehicles in the country, solidifying its position as the leading automotive producer in the Mexican market.
