In a recent government meeting, discussions centered on the impact of past presidential policies on Michigan's auto industry, particularly under Donald Trump's administration. It was highlighted that during Trump's presidency, American automakers announced the closure of six auto plants, including significant facilities in Warren and Detroit, resulting in thousands of job losses for Michigan auto workers.

Concerns were raised regarding comments made by Trump's running mate, who suggested potential threats to the Grand River Assembly Plant in Lansing. This plant, which was recently protected by the current administration, saved 650 union jobs. The administration emphasized its commitment to labor and criticized Trump's approach, asserting that he is \"no friend of labor.\"

Officials urged the public to focus on the record of actions rather than rhetoric, warning against being misled by political promises. They pointed out that Trump's policies encouraged automakers to relocate plants, which ultimately aimed to reduce labor costs at the expense of Michigan workers. The meeting underscored the administration's dedication to protecting jobs and supporting the labor force in the state.
