The former president claimed the U.S. auto industry would 'cease to exist' if UAW President Shawn Fain did not oppose 'allowing all electric cars.'
UAW President Shawn Fain speaks at a rally with union members in Detroit, Michigan, on September 4, 2023. Former President Donald Trump has warned Fain against"allowing all electric cars" as auto workers prepare for a possible strike."Shawn Fain, the respected President of the United Auto Workers, cannot even think about allowing ALL ELECTRIC CARS - THEY WILL ALL BE MADE IN CHINA, and the Auto Industry in America will cease to exist!" Trump wrote.
"Vote for TRUMP, and I will stop this Madness, IMMEDIATELY!" he said."Mexico & Canada LOVE Biden's idiotic policy. SAVE MICHIGAN and the other Auto States. SAVE THE AMERICAN CONSUMER!!!"While not yet finalized, the Environmental Protection Agency has proposed a new emissions rule that could require 67 percent of vehicles sold by 2032 to be electric. Some have criticized the goal as unrealistic.
The Biden administration last week announced a $15.5 billion investment to"support a strong and just transition" to EVs, including retooling manufacturing facilities and expanding domestic EV battery production. Biden called the plan a"win‑win opportunity for auto companies and unionized workers" in a statement, insisting that it would allow jobs to stay in the U.S. and"avoid painful plant closings."
