More Investment, More Jobs, and More Money in Americans’ Pockets

Today, Hyundai announced a $20 billion investment in the United States — including $5.8 billion for a new steel plant in Louisiana, which will create nearly 1,500 jobs. The investment, which builds on Hyundai’s pledge earlier this year to “further localize production in the U.S.,” is the latest success in President Donald J. Trump’s pursuit of a Made in America renaissance.

It’s further proof that President Trump’s economic agenda is working.

Hyundai is far from the only automaker planning major investments as President Trump leverages tariffs to remake the U.S. into a global manufacturing powerhouse:

• Stellantis announced a $5 billion investment in its U.S. manufacturing network — including re-opening an Illinois manufacturing plant — as it pledges to increase domestic vehicle production.

• Volkswagen is considering shifting production of the high-end Audi and Porsche brands to the U.S.

• Honda is expected to produce its next-generation Civic hybrid model in Indiana.

• Nissan is considering moving production from Mexico to the U.S.

• Rolls-Royce is expected to “ramp up” production in the U.S. by hiring more American workers and expand its U.S.-based operations.

• Volvo is considering expanding its U.S.-based output.

It’s not just the auto sector; domestic and foreign companies have pledged trillions in new investments since President Trump took office:

He makes it look easy. Imagine how many young people aspire to be like him.

Win, win, win.

“Turns out all we needed was a new president.”

All sounds great but assuming the 4 year term will be up when any of these plants are built and getting online. I respect the president for caring more about long term investment, rather than a quick win that he can take credit for.

[Old West Conservative]

When does construction begin? Or retrofitting of existing sites? Or hiring any new workers? Or restarts of mothballed factories? Any new drilling yet?

[I_be_tc]

Think of construction jobs. Thinking they will start very soon. And all the support business. That will also be substantial.

[Marko413]

Yah that parts good, good point.
