General Motors on Thursday announced it will dramatically increase vehicle production in Indiana following President Donald Trump's tariffs.
The move came one day after after Trump slapped 25 percent tariff on on all foreign-made cars in a bid he said will bring business back to the US.
The president revealed the tariff last month, promising it would go into effect on April 2 that was deemed 'Liberation Day.'
And it GM appeared to strike when the iron was hot, announcing it will hire several hundred temporary workers for the assembly line at its Fort Wayne plant.
The facility makes the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks, which the American carmaker also manufactures at plants in Mexico and Canada.
GM said in a statement on Thursday that it will hire temporary workers for the assembly plant, saying that will be part of 'operational adjustments' at the plant 'to support current manufacturing and business needs.'
The American carmaker noted that to implement the changes at Fort Wayne, the plant will be taken down from April 22-25, following the Easter holiday.
