Donald Trump attacks General Motors again

Donald Trump, again attacked General Motors (GM) and indicated that the decision of the company to close plants is contrary to other car companies. "General Motors is doing the opposite to other companies. Big Steel is opening and renovating its plants throughout the country. Car companies are entering the United States, including BMW, which has just announced a major new plant. The United States is booming! "He said in his Twitter account Trump threatened on Tuesday to "eliminate all subsidies" to GM after the company announced plant closures in politically key states for the president. "Very disappointed by General Motors," the president said. "The United States has saved General Motors and here are the ACKNOWLEDGMENTS we have! We are considering the elimination of all subsidies, even for electric cars, "he added. His warning came after GM announced a 15 percent cut in its workforce and the closure of five plants in the United States, two of them in places like Michigan and Ohio that Trump won tightly in the 2016 election. GM said its decision was based on weak sales of small cars assembled at those two factories and indicated that it wants to direct its efforts towards autonomous cars and other new technologies.
