Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV may keep making heavy-duty Ram pickups in Mexico, reconsidering a move President Donald Trump has repeatedly touted as validation for his America-first policies.

Chief Executive Officer Mike Manley told Reuters in an interviewBloomberg Terminal that the company could continue to build the big trucks at a plant in Saltillo, plus start assembling them at a factory in Warren, Michigan, north of Detroit. He said the additional output may be needed to continue gaining market share.
