Ford is helpless as GM executives are selected into Trump's think tank

According to foreign media reports, General Motors CEO Mary Barra has been selected as one of the 16 think tanks for President-elect Trump. It is reported that these 16 people are all elites from the business community and will give Trump some advice on increasing employment and economic issues in the future.

The think tank team, whose members come from JPMorgan Chase, Walt Disney, Walmart, Boeing and others, will form a strategic and policy team for Trump. It is reported that the team will hold its first meeting at the White House in February next year.

Barra mentioned in his speech: "I am very happy to join Trump's think tank, because I may have the opportunity to participate in the formulation of some important policies in the future and contribute my own strength. I am very much looking forward to working with Trump and other representatives. In the future, I hope to provide the greatest support in areas such as improving the strength and competitiveness of the economy and the automotive industry."

According to the official website of the Best Talk Group, the team will make suggestions to Trump from time to time on economic development, job creation and productivity. Best Talk Group is a private equity company, and its founder Stephen Schwarzman will serve as the chairman of the group.

Trump said in his speech: "The team includes CEOs and business leaders from major companies, and our government agencies will be committed to learning from the experience of private enterprises, reducing government red tape, and hoping that the economy will be able to hire, innovate, and expand fields. "

Trump's selection of Barra stands in stark contrast to his harsh criticism of Ford Motor Co., even as both GM and Ford increase investments in Mexico.

Barra is one of two women on the team, the other being IBM CEO Ginni Rometty.
