GM to bring China-built Buick to U.S.

By Kalea Hall and David Shepardson

Jan 22 (Reuters) - General Motors GM.N is moving production of a China-built Buick SUV to the U.S., its latest move to expand U.S. factory work in the wake of the Trump administration’s tariffs.

The Detroit automaker said Thursday it is ending China production of the Buick Envision, a midsize SUV that it has been importing to the U.S. for nearly a decade. A next generation of the vehicle will instead be built at GM’s assembly plant in the Kansas City area starting in 2028.

“This decision further strengthens GM’s domestic manufacturing footprint and supports U.S. jobs,” the automaker said in a statement to Reuters.
