The White House will no longer dispatch two key officials to Detroit, Michigan, this week to aid in the negotiations between automakers and the United Auto Workers (UAW) amid an ongoing strike, according to a statement obtained by various media.

Last week, President Joe Biden announced that Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su and Senior Adviser Gene Sperling would be dispatched to Detroit to provide support as the UAW and auto manufacturers aimed to reach a resolution.
