(Detroit, MI) – Governor Gretchen Whitmer is calling on the federal government to use money held by the Energy Department to benefit suppliers. The governor spoke yesterday at the Detroit Economic Club. She criticized the current turmoil in the markets that she says will hurt companies that provide parts and materials for other suppliers. President Trump says companies need more time to adjust to the increased demand in manufacturing he’s creating with his trade policies.
Whitmer says she wishes she didn’t block her face in a photo at the White House last week. Speaking at the Detroit Economic Club, Whitmer said she just didn’t want her picture taken when she put a folder in front of her face while in the Oval Office during a meeting with President Trump. The Michigan Democrat said she just wrote a book about learning to laugh at yourself and added she’s pretty good at it. In a statement from her spokesperson, they said Whitmer was surprised she was brought into the Oval Office during Trump’s news conference and her presence is not an endorsement of actions taken or statements made.
