General Motors Co on Jan. 17 confirmed it will invest an additional $1 billion in its U.S. factories in 2017 and will move some parts production from Mexico to the United States that was previously handled by a supplier. 

The investments are in addition to the $2.9 billion the automaker announced last year, GM said.

The chief of U.S. aerospace giant Lockheed Martin met on Jan. 13 with Donald Trump, promising to create thousands of jobs and bring down costs of the stealth fighter the president-elect lambasted.

Trump last month slammed Lockheed in one of his customary Twitter attacks for the "out of control" costs of the F-35 fighter jet, sending the company's share price plunging.

The global auto industry on Jan. 9 was bracing for more confrontational tweets from President-elect Donald Trump, with the festive Detroit auto show due to kick off here.

Ford Motor Co  on Tuesday scrapped a planned Mexican car factory and added 700 jobs in Michigan following criticism by Donald Trump, as the U.S. president-elect turned his attention toward rival General Motors Co with the threat of a "big border tax" over compact cars made in Mexico. 

Erstwhile real estate mogul and TV reality star Donald Trump not only takes Manhattan – by surprise – but the rest of America as well, becoming the nation’s 45th president following a neck-and-neck race as Republican Party presidential nominee against Democratic Party rival, Hillary Clinton.

Donald Trump took a dramatic win, becoming the 45th US President as he managed to win 276 electors, 7 over the 270 threshold necessary. Trump recorded crucial battleground victories in Florida, North Carolina and Ohio, Alaska and Pensylvania. The victories are stunning for a candidate long seen as unlikely to win the presidency. Hillary Clinton conceded her defeat’s.

FBI Director James Comey told lawmakers Sunday the agency hasn’t changed its opinion that Hillary Clinton should not face criminal charges after a review of new emails. “Based on our review, we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July,” Comey wrote in the new letter to congressional committee chairmen.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton packed their schedules with last minute campaign events on Nov. 6, two days out from an election that has gripped the world.

Clinton is banking on star power to lock in her narrow poll lead, hosting back-to-back weekend pop concerts with Beyonce and Katy Perry and booking a date with President Barack Obama.
