President-elect Donald Trump thanked Fiat Chrysler on Monday morning for its decision to invest $1 billion in two existing plants in the U.S. In a tweet, Trump said "it's finally happening," citing also Ford's recent decision to expand operations in Michigan. Trump did not mention either General Motors or Toyota , both of which have said they will continue with plans to produce certain cars in Mexico.
