Trump Defends Economic Policies Amid Michigan Tariff Pain
US President Donald Trump is set to defend his economic policies in Michigan on Monday, where new Canadian tariffs may have a painful impact on many local businesses.
The visit to suburban Detroit comes as midterm election season heats up, with Trump touting his handling of the economy in front of over 1,000 people at a General Motors facility in Milford. The facility serves as a testing and proving grounds for GM's vehicles.
Before speaking, Trump witnessed a drag race demonstration featuring Cadillacs, Corvettes, and Hummers ahead of an IndyCar race scheduled for next month in Washington. Trump has promoted the IndyCar race as part of America's 250th birthday celebrations.
