Donald Trump predicted the US auto industry would succumb to massive losses in just a few years.
Former president Donald Trump said it mattered little whether striking union autoworkers secured a favourable deal.
“It doesn’t make a damn bit of difference what you get because in two years you’re all going to be out of business,” Trump told several hundred blue-collar workers gathered at a non-union auto supplier outside Detroit. On Tuesday, Biden joined a picket line to show solidarity with the United Auto Workers union, which began its walkouts on Sept 15, its first simultaneous strikes at General Motors, Chrysler parent Stellantis and Ford. Biden backed their call for a 40% pay raise and improved working conditions.
The decision by both Trump and Biden to insert themselves into the historic auto strike highlights the importance both men place on securing support from working-class voters in Michigan and other battleground states in next year’s presidential race. Spurred on by incentives, automakers are sinking tens of billions of dollars into new domestic factories to meet demand for electrified vehicle sales, which captured 8.9% of the US market during the first half of 2023 and continue to grow.
