Trump prods General Motors over its auto plants in China
"General Motors, which was once the Giant of Detroit, is now one of the smallest auto manufacturers there. They moved major plants to China, BEFORE I CAME INTO OFFICE. This was done despite the saving help given them by the USA. Now they should start moving back to America again?" U.S. President Donald Trump said in a post shared on his official social media page.
