On Sunday, Fiat Chrysler announced it would invest $1 billion in already existing plants in Michigan and Ohio, adding 2,000 jobs. President-elect Donald Trump, who has criticized companies that outsource jobs, tweeted Monday a thank you to Fiat and also to Ford, which last week canceled plans for a new Ford plant in Mexico:
Ford said last week that it will expand in Michigan and U.S. instead of building a BILLION dollar plant in Mexico. Thank you Ford & Fiat C!
