After Trump barbs, GM announces $1.8 bn investment, new jobs

Facing a barrage of attacks from President Donald Trump over plant closures, General Motors announced Friday a $1.8 billion investment and the creation of 700 new jobs in the United States.

About $300 million will support production of electric vehicles at a Michigan plant, the company said in a statement. Of the 700 jobs, 400 will be at that location.
