Snyder to Leave on Euro Trade Trip

Governor Rick Snyder leaves Saturday morning for a week-long trade development trip to Europe.

Governor Snyder will make stops in Turin, Italy and Stuttgart, Germany.

His itinerary includes meetings with Fiat, Daimler and other auto companies and a presentation on Michigan’s advanced  battery industry. Michigan exports $6 billion a year to Europe and the governor says he hopes to build on that.

The governor will return to Michigan next weekend.

He made a trade trip to Asia in September with stops in China, Japan, and South Korea.
