Trump Criticizes GM for Mexican Made Chevy Cruze Imports

Share Print 0

US President-elect Donald Trump has criticised General Motors on Twitter for making cars built in Mexico available tax-free in the US.

“General Motors is sending Mexican made model of Chevy Cruze to US car dealers-tax free across border. Make in U.S.A. or pay big border tax!” he tweeted.

However, GM said most of its Chevy Cruze cars were made in the US.

A spokesman said only the hatchback model, which forms a small percentage of sales, was made in Mexico.

He added that the car was built there for global production and said that although some Cruze sedans were made in Mexico for a while last year, all the ones now sold in the US were manufactured in Ohio.
