Ms. Barra said GM’s factory in Spartanburg, S.C., the largest exporter of American-made vehicles, would have to cut back operations if President Trump carried out 25 percent tariffs on foreign cars and auto parts.
“Increased import tariffs could lead to a smaller GM, a reduced presence at home and abroad for this iconic American company, and risk less — not more — U.S. jobs,” GM told the U.S. Commerce Department, according to NBC News.
U.S. car companies have warned that the tariffs could negatively affect domestic production because many U.S. companies use foreign parts.
