Detroit, USA - January 20, 2016

“NAIAS is honored to have President Obama visit our great city and our international show,” Sabatini said.
“His presence here underscores the importance of NAIAS and highlights the vehicles and technologies on display that made their world debut last week at Press Preview.”

Alberts added,
“The announcements coming out of NAIAS not only impact the automotive community, but are also relevant to the U.S. and world economy. We’re privileged to have the President visit today as NAIAS continues to draw the attention of government leaders and officials across the globe.”
