One of the last
industrial anchors in what was once Ohio's manufacturing core
is now on life
support,
just a little over a year after Donald Trump told people not to leave
and
promised that jobs would come back to the area.
That’s 15,000
workers

It’s a usual stump
speech line for the President,
but
it didn’t seem to take into account that earlier Monday GM had
announced it would slash its workforce and shut production

Some 8,000 salaried
employees and 6,000 hourly workers will either lose their jobs or be reassigned
to other plants, industry experts say, and more layoffs are likely coming.
Ryan told Erin
Burnett on CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront” that he found Trump’s comments
“insulting to the almost 2,000 workers in our
factory locally, and almost 15,000 workers in Michigan and Ohio.”
While the tariff is
currently on hold, it represents a threat to US workers, according to the auto
industry.
Michigan, Ohio,
Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama have the highest percentage of
workers in the auto industry and would likely be the hardest hit states
Ford may have to cut

“Ford has already
warned that President Donald Trump’s auto tariffs have impacted the company to
the tune of $1 billion, and the president’s trade policies threaten to play
havoc with Ford’s ongoing reorganization,” Ford CFO Bob Shanks told NBC News.
The popular Ford
Mustang could also be on the chopping block as a direct result of Trump’s trade
war with China. The Mustang had been the most popular U.S. car in China
before the country imposed tariffs on American-made vehicles in response to
Trump’s tariffs.
Now Ford may have to
cut production
on its most ironically American car,
which would also mean
a
reduction of U.S. jobs.
