GM recommits to gasoline vehicles with $4 billion U.S. investment
General Motors (GM) announced Tuesday a strategic pivot in its vehicle production roadmap, revealing plans to invest approximately $4 billion over the next two years to expand output of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles at three major U.S. plants. The move reflects mounting headwinds in the electric vehicle (EV) sector, geopolitical shifts in trade policy, and renewed political pressure to prioritize domestic manufacturing.
The Detroit-based automaker will repurpose its Orion Assembly plant in Michigan—originally slated to begin producing electric trucks in 2025—to instead manufacture full-size, gasoline-powered SUVs and light-duty pickup trucks starting in early 2027. The decision represents a significant recalibration of GM’s public goal to phase out gasoline and diesel vehicle production by 2035.

World Bank slashes 2025 global growth forecast amid rising geopolitical uncertainty
The World Bank has sharply downgraded its global growth outlook for 2025, warning that an increasingly fragmented trade environment and persistent uncertainty—exacerbated by U.S. tariff escalation—are weighing heavily on global economic momentum. In its Global Economic Prospects report released Tuesday, the Bank cut its global GDP growth forecast to just 2.3%, down 0.4 percentage points from its prior estimate and the weakest expansion outside of a global recession since the 2008 financial crisis.
The revision reflects downgraded forecasts for nearly 70% of countries and regions, including major economies such as the United States, China, and the European Union, as well as all six major emerging market regions.

Trump’s tariffs jolt EU into action on internal market reform
The European Union’s fragmented internal market is coming under renewed scrutiny, not only from businesses grappling with its inefficiencies but also from policymakers now urgently looking to close the competitiveness gap with global economic powers. In a striking twist, it is the renewed tariff pressure from the United States—particularly under the revived trade agenda of President Donald Trump—that has emerged as a catalyst for long-delayed reforms.
While the EU is nominally a single market of over 440 million people, companies operating across its borders face a bewildering array of national regulations, particularly in areas like waste management, professional licensing, services, and consumer goods labelling. These internal inconsistencies are effectively acting as “invisible tariffs,” choking efficiency and curbing the bloc’s ability to compete on the global stage.
