If those jobs come back to the USA ,, I call it a win . GM got what they deserve for going to Venezuela to save labor cost .

I don’t know the history of GM moving to Venezuela so I can’t really comment on it.

Some questions that come to my mind are:
Did they import cars from there back to the US?
Was the plant there built just to support markets in South/Central America?

Sometimes it makes sense to locate a plant in the market you are serving, whether that market is domestic or international, to minimize transportation cost and tax implications rather than shipping product long distances.

I find the illegal seizure of property appalling regardless of where is happens.

Would you say the same thing if the Trump International Hotel in Panama was seized by the government there?

They didn’t go to Venezuela to save money. They went to produce products for central and south America many years ago. They don’t even have the same model lineup.
