Since the existence of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), General Motors invested more than $60 billion in the United States.

In addition, according to its own information, the company contributes approximately $50 billion directly to the US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and triples that amount thanks to the economic activity of its employers and suppliers. 

General Motors invested 

Each job in General Motors’ manufacturing sector generates eight additional jobs in the United States. 

Eleven states in the United States receive more than $1 billion in annual spending from this company. 

In the United States, the company has a network of 50 manufacturing plants and parts facilities in 19 states. 

Thus, the company’s contribution to the U.S. economy will continue to grow as its additional production plans and investments in the United States are implemented over the next two years. 

This data was included in a letter from the company to the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) on January 7, 2026.

Supply chain

Since 2021, General Motors has focused on reducing the risk of certain components to promote a resilient supply chain in North America.

Its industry-leading strategy prioritizes critical minerals, semiconductors, battery cells, and electric motors. 

Securing key raw materials and localizing the supply chain supports the production of its technology in the United States, strengthening resilience and mitigating risk. 

The USMCA will undergo its first six-year review in July 2026, as provided for in Article 34.7. Prior to that, in September 2025, the United States and Mexico launched public consultations. The objective was to gather comments, evidence, and proposals. Citizens, companies, organizations, and specialists participated. For its part, Canada conducted a similar exercise in 2024.

In General Motors’ view, the USMCA, specifically the integration of North America’s industrial footprint and preferential tariff treatment, are critical to supporting these investments and ensuring that U.S. automakers can compete globally.
