General Electric Co. Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Immelt threatened to move U.S. jobs overseas if Congress doesn’t reauthorize the Export-Import Bank’s charter, which expires at the end of June.
“We’re not going to lose this business,” Immelt said Wednesday to the Economic Club of Washington. “We’ll build these products in places where export credit financing is available.”
