A senior White House official did not deny to CNBC that the Obama administration influenced Wagoner’s departure.
Asked if the administration forced him out, the senior official replied, “‘forced’ is a little strong.”
Wagoner has served as CEO since 2000. Under his leadership, GM has steadily lost market share in North America while becoming the dominant automaker in China, where it is currently number one
