President Donald Trump declared Michigan was "thriving" during a visit to a General Motors plant, crediting his tariff policies for what he described as an unprecedented boom in the auto industry.
Standing beside new GM vehicles before signing a Corvette, Trump said, "Car companies are doing better than they've ever done," adding, "It's amazing what tariffs will do for General Motors." Speaking later at a rally in Milford, northwest of Detroit, he told supporters, "Michigan is thriving."
