KEY POINTS
  • President Donald Trump targets General Motors and a local union official as he pushes the automaker to restart production at an Ohio facility. 
  • Trump claims that GM "let our Country down." 

President Donald Trump targeted both General Motors and a union official on Sunday over an Ohio assembly plant that the automaker closed earlier this month.

His tweets amplify the public pressure on GM to restart operations at the Lordstown, Ohio facility. Trump has frequently used his platform to push companies to take his preferred actions. Earlier this year, he threatened to cut the company's subsidies after it announced plans to slash production at several U.S. plants.
