US President Joe Biden said American workers were “building the future of the electric vehicle” in a speech at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on Wednesday, September 14.

“We’re choosing to build a better America, an America that is confronting the climate crisis, with America’s workers leading the way,” Biden told a crowd during the auto show’s media day.

Local media reported the president test drove an all-electric Cadillac SUV at the event. It was the first Detroit auto show to be held in more than three years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
