In an interview with WSJ’s Emma Tucker at the Future of Everything event, Mary Barra says she speaks regularly with the White House and that tariffs help them compete with international auto companies.
Mary Barra, the chief executive of General Motors, said the automaker has been working on making more of its parts in the US.
“We’re investing in this country,” Barra said on Fox Business Thursday, adding that it has been working on doing so in the last five years. GM has said it faces $4 billion to $5 billion in tariff-related costs this year. Barra said making more parts in the U.S. will help offset some of those costs.
