June 11 (UPI) -- General Motors Tuesday announced a $4 billion investment in United States manufacturing plants over the next two years to build both gas and electric vehicles.
The plants getting the money for expanded production are in Michigan, Tennessee and Kansas.
"We believe the future of transportation will be driven by American innovation and manufacturing expertise," GM CEO Mary Barra said in a statement. "Today's announcement demonstrates our ongoing commitment to build vehicles in the U.S and to support American jobs."
In Michigan the new investment will expand production of full-size SUVs and light duty pickups, set to begin at Orion Assembly in early 2027.
GM's Factory ZERO in Hamtramck will build the Chevrolet Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, Cadillac Escalade IQ and the GMC Hummer EV pickup and SUV.
In Tennessee, the new investment will help support Chevrolet Blazer production at Spring Hill starting in 2027, as well as the Cadillac Lyriq and VistIQ and the Cadillac XT5.
GM will also put new money into the Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas, where the gas-powered Chevrolet Equinox will be produced beginning in mid-2027. Fairfax will also start building the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV by the end of 2025.
GM said it also expects to "make new future investments in Fairfax for GM's next generation of affordable EVs."
"Today's news goes well beyond the investment numbers - this is about hardworking Americans making vehicles they are proud to build and that customers are proud to own," GM President Mark Reuss said in a statement. "As you travel the country, you can see firsthand the scale of our manufacturing footprint and the positive economic impact on our communities and our country."
GM is a U.S.-based global company with 50 plants and parts facilities in 19 states, including 11 vehicle assembly plants.
According to GM, the company's vehicles are seeing strong U.S. sales and became the #2 seller of EVs in the U.S. market in the second half of 2024. Chevrolet is the fastest-growing EV brand in the U.S.
The Tuesday announcement from GM said 2025 capital spending for the company is between $10 billion and $11 billion.
It is expected to remain in the $10 billion to $12 billion range through 2027 as GM increases U.S. investment.

Boeing 787 Dreamliner jet in Air India crash was subject of conspiracy theories about dead whistleblower — and battery problems
Thursday's Air India plane crash that killed more than 240 people has brought renewed scrutiny on Boeing's 787 Dreamliner aircraft — which was at the center of a conspiracy theory following a whistleblower's suicide last year. The disaster marks the first time a 787 Dreamliner — Boeing's newest plane model — has been involved in a catastrophic crash since its debut in 2011. It's also the latest disaster to hit the beleaguered American aerospace giant — which has been dogged by a door that blew off a 737 jet, a leaky spacecraft that stranded astronauts on the International Space Station for months, as well as politically damaging delays in outfitting the new Air Force One jets. The Dreamliner is Boeing's bestselling wide-body aircraft, and more than 1,200 have been delivered to airlines worldwide. Advertisement The deadly crash has left a stain on the jet's safety record heading into the Paris air show next week. Boeing's stock tanking by nearly 4.8% as CEO Kelly Ortberg scrambles to boost production of the Dreamliner. 6 A Boeing 787 Dreamliner operated by Air India crashed and exploded on Thursday morning, killing more than 240 people. Viral Press via Reuters Connect 6 First responders work at the site of the plane crash in Ahmedabad, India. Saurabh Sirohiya/NurPhoto/Shutterstock The Dreamliner was first introduced on Japan's All Nippon Airways in 2011 and there are more than 30 operated by Air India today, according to Cirium, an aviation data firm. Advertisement The Air India jet that crashed on Thursday was built in 2014 and had performed some 8,000 takeoffs and landings, according to the Wall Street Journal. Despite enjoying a 14-year safety streak, the troubled aerospace giant has seen its Dreamliner suffer from a series of production woes and attention from whistleblowers warning about the massive plane's assembly. The issues began in 2013, with Boeing's fleet of 787s grounded following a series of battery fires flagged by air safety inspectors. Advertisement Boeing was also forced to pause all 787 deliveries for nearly two years until the summer of 2022 over quality concern issues. 6 Debris of the doomed Air India plane hands over the destroyed ceiling of a local building.

Saurabh Sirohiya/NurPhoto/Shutterstock The pause ended when the Federal Aviation Administration approved Boeing's plan to make fixes that included filling paper-thin gaps around the plane and replacing parts that were not made with the approved titanium needed. Advertisement Things only got worse for Boeing last year when whistleblowers began coming out, accusing the company of taking shortcuts to fill the gap created by the 2020 pause, with the former employees and engineers warning that the practice could cause premature damage to the planes. Boeing has repeatedly disputed the claims made by the whistleblower, claiming an internal investigation recovered no evidence to support the whistleblowers' concerns over the South Carolina factory where the Dreamliners are made. 6 Mourners gather in Patna to pray for the victims of the plane crash, were only one passenger reportedly survived. AFP via Getty Images 6 Boeing has more than 1,000 787-9 Dreamliners in operation around the world. Getty Images Among the whistleblowers was John Barnett, 62, who was found dead just a day after sitting for a deposition with the company's lawyers in March 2024. His death was ruled a suicide. Barnett's death triggered countless conspiracy theories targeted against Boeing, despite investigators finding no evidence of foul play involved in the former employee's death. Thursday's crash also comes as Boeing is still reeling from the deadly accidents involving its 737 Max plane, which saw 346 people die in crashes in 2018 and 2019. Advertisement The company had reached a deal with the Department of Justice last month to avoid taking criminal responsibility for the crashes. 'Our deepest condolences go out to the loved ones of the passengers and crew on board Air India Flight 171, as well as everyone affected in Ahmedabad,' Ortberg said in a statement following Thursday's tragedy.

Anteris Technologies Global (ASX:AVR) investors are sitting on a loss of 66% if they invested three years ago
If you are building a properly diversified stock portfolio, the chances are some of your picks will perform badly. Long term Anteris Technologies Global Corp. (ASX:AVR) shareholders know that all too well, since the share price is down considerably over three years. Regrettably, they have had to cope with a 66% drop in the share price over that period. And more recent buyers are having a tough time too, with a drop of 62% in the last year. The falls have accelerated recently, with the share price down 35% in the last three months. So let's have a look and see if the longer term performance of the company has been in line with the underlying business' progress. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. Anteris Technologies Global isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally hope to see good revenue growth. That's because it's hard to be confident a company will be sustainable if revenue growth is negligible, and it never makes a profit. In the last three years Anteris Technologies Global saw its revenue shrink by 24% per year. That means its revenue trend is very weak compared to other loss making companies. Arguably, the market has responded appropriately to this business performance by sending the share price down 18% (annualized) in the same time period. Bagholders or 'baggies' are people who buy more of a stock as the price collapses. They are then left 'holding the bag' if the shares turn out to be worthless. After losing money on a declining business with falling stock price, we always consider whether eager bagholders are still offering us a reasonable exit price. The image below shows how earnings and revenue have tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). Balance sheet strength is crucial. It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on how its financial position has changed over time. While the broader market gained around 14% in the last year, Anteris Technologies Global shareholders lost 62%. Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. On the bright side, long term shareholders have made money, with a gain of 8% per year over half a decade. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. For instance, we've identified 5 warning signs for Anteris Technologies Global (3 don't sit too well with us) that you should be aware of.

Canadians' Support for Counter-Tariffs Dips, but Still Strong, as Trade War Persists
(Bloomberg) -- Canadians continue to support retaliating against US President Donald Trump's wave of tariffs, but their fervor has waned as the trade war wears on. Shuttered NY College Has Alumni Fighting Over Its Future Trump's Military Parade Has Washington Bracing for Tanks and Weaponry NYC Renters Brace for Price Hikes After Broker-Fee Ban Do World's Fairs Still Matter? NY Long Island Rail Service Resumes After Grand Central Fire Seven in 10 Canadians still favor counter-tariffs even if they increase the cost of goods imported from the US, according to a poll conducted by Nanos Research Group for Bloomberg News. That's down from almost eight in 10 in January. Sentiment has also shifted, with the percentage of those who 'somewhat support' the measures rising to 29% from 24% at the beginning of the year. Nearly 44% of respondents expressed unqualified support for retaliatory levies, down from 55%. 'Further uncertainty and new tariffs on Canadian goods by the US will reinforce appetite for a Canadian tariff response,' said Nik Nanos, the polling firm's founder. Atlantic Canada was the region that most favored counter-tariffs, with 81% expressing some form of support. The Prairies expressed the least support (67%). The Prairie provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta recently said they would resume buying and distributing American alcohol to retailers, months after they halted purchases in response to Trump's tariffs. US booze remains banned from government-store shelves in many other provinces, including Ontario. Prime Minister Mark Carney's government scaled back its retaliatory tariffs in April, leaving about 70% of its counter-measures in place. That means Canada currently has 25% levies on about C$42 billion ($31 billion) in imports from the US, plus some tariffs on automobiles. Carney held off on retaliating further in response to Trump's doubling of tariffs on steel and aluminum last week. The prime minister has said he sees progress in trade talks between the US and Canada, but new counter-measures remain an option. Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem said last week that the levies aren't yet having a significant impact on prices. 'The retaliatory tariffs put in place, that is not yet in the consumer price index data that we have,' Macklem said. 'You will see that start to come in the months ahead.' The latest Nanos survey of 1,120 Canadians was conducted by phone and online between June 1 and 3. It's considered accurate within 2.9 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. --With assistance from Erik Hertzberg.
