In a tweet posted earlier on Monday, President-elect Donald Trump expressed his gratitude towards entities such as Fiat Chrysler and Ford Motor Company for their intention to invest in US Midwest plants.

“Its finally happening – Fiat Chrysler just announced plans to invest $1BILLION in Michigan and Ohio plants, adding 2000 jobs,” Trump said through his Twitter account yesterday. “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(hrysler)”, he added.

Last week Ford announced it intended to invest $700 million in a plant in Michigan over a period of 4 years. At the same time, during the weekend Fiat Chrysler revealed a plan to establish plants in Ohio and Michigan in order to manufacture new pickup trucks and SUVs.
