President Donald Trump is headed to Warren on Thursday to give a speech at Dana Inc.'s manufacturing facility on Van Dyke Avenue, one day after he's expected to sign a new trade agreement with Canada and Mexico.
Trump is expected to deliver a speech Thursday at Dana Corp.'s facility at 28201 Van Dyke Ave., Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel said.
The Republican president's planned visit to the northern Detroit suburb comes amid his impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate over soliciting foreign help in his re-election campaign this year.
"Politically, it's probably a very calculated move on their part, the timing of it," said Hackel, a Democrat who has been briefed on the president's visit. "It's a very wise decision to come to Macomb County."
Trump campaigned in 2016 on repealing the 26-year-old North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and forging a new trilateral trade pact with America's northern and southern neighbors.
The Dana facility is the former U.S. Manufacturing Corp. plant that the Maumee, Ohio-based auto supplier bought in February 2017 in a $100 million all-cash deal. Reuters reported Friday that Trump will sign legislation authorizing the USMCA on Wednesday at the White House.
As of two years ago, the 1.2 million-square-foot facility in Warren employed about 800 workers who make axle housing and driveline shafts.
The manufacturing dates back to World War II when tanks were manufactured for Allied forces, Hackel said.
Dana (NYSE: DAN) engineers axles, driveshafts and thermal products for lightweight, commercial and off-highway vehicles.
Spokesmen for Dana and the White House did not immediately return messages Sunday night seeking comment.
