Donald Trump orders 250 armored Cadillac Escalades for White House

President Donald Trump announced that the White House has placed an order for 250 Cadillac Escalade sport‑utility vehicles, which will be armored for Secret Service use. The announcement was made during a visit to General Motors' test centre in Milford, Michigan, where GM CEO Mary Barra accompanied Trump. Trump praised General Motors and highlighted the jobs created by the company’s U.S. manufacturing. The Cadillac Escalade, long used as the basis for the presidential car known as “The Beast,” is a full‑size luxury SUV that will augment the presidential motorcade.

The order underscores the administration’s focus on domestic industry and adds a new batch of high‑security vehicles to the White House fleet.
