NAFTA objectives

WASHINGTON

U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan of Howland, D-13th, voiced his criticism Tuesday in a news release regarding the Trump administration’s new North American Free Trade Agreement renegotiation objectives released Monday.

Under the 2015 Fast Track law, the administration must publish “a detailed and comprehensive summary” of its specific negotiating objectives 30 days before formally beginning trade talks.

“The Trump administration’s newly released NAFTA renegotiation objectives are filled with vague overtures making it unclear what will be demanded on key issues, whether improvements for working people could be in the offing.

“There is consensus that NAFTA needs to change to level the playing field for U.S. workers, but I am greatly concerned that in this important undertaking, the president, by his own objectives, is not qualified to get a deal worthy of American families.”

Shutdown extended

DETROIT

General Motors is extending a shutdown at its Orion Township, Mich., factory that builds the new Chevrolet Bolt as part of a broad effort to get control of rising inventories of unsold vehicles in the U.S.

GM sold 7,592 Bolts through June 30 after introducing the electric car at the end of 2016. The GM Assembly Plant in Lordstown, where the Chevrolet Cruze sedans are built, is also in a three-week shutdown.

Vehicle recall

FRANKFURT, Germany

German automaker Daimler will voluntarily recall 3 million Mercedes-Benz brand cars with diesel engines in Europe to improve their emissions performance, the company said Tuesday in the wake of widespread public debate over the future of diesel.

The Stuttgart-based company said it was taking the step to reassure drivers and strengthen confidence in the technology.

The recall will cover nearly all vehicles made under the EU5 and EU6 emissions standards and will start in the next few weeks. The company said it would cost $254.2 million, but that customers wouldn’t pay anything.
