GM tariff playbook includes international inventory cuts, CFO says

General Motors (GM) is actively managing its inventory and supply chain in response to potential U.S. tariff increases, as outlined by GM CFO Paul Jacobson. In preparation for possible changes in trade policy, GM has reduced its international inventory by 20% to 30% over the past year, aiming to minimize the impact of tariffs on its operations. Jacobson highlighted that while the company has not yet seen significant disruptions from the current tariff situation, they are closely monitoring developments, particularly concerning the U.S.-China trade relations.

This approach is part of a broader playbook to adapt to global economic shifts and ensure business continuity amidst potential trade policy changes.
