Trump Says He Will End Biden Admin’s War on Gas-Powered Vehicles

Former President Donald Trump threw a big bone to the vast majority of Americans who are still driving gas-powered vehicles and who are resisting having to purchase an expensive all-electric vehicle.
“Joe Biden is waging war on the U.S. auto-industry with a series of crippling mandates designed to force Americans into expensive electric cars – that’s just what you want – even as thousands of electric cars are piling up on car lots all unsold,” Trump said in an Agenda47 policy video shared on Rumble, Newsmax reported. “This ridiculous Green New Deal crusade is causing car prices to skyrocket while setting the stage for the destruction of American auto production.”
In addition, he made a pitch for the United Autoworkers Union, which endorsed Biden in 2020 but may now be regretting that.
“I hope United Auto Workers is listening to this because I think you better endorse Trump because I am going to grow your business and they are destroying your business,” Trump continued. “They are absolutely destroying your business.
“How people can vote for you just because it’s an automatic Democrat vote. Look at how they have decimated the car industry over the years. Mexico has 32% of the business that we used to have. It’s ridiculous. But they didn’t do it while I was president, I can tell you that,” Trump added.
He also promised that on day one of his presidency, if he wins, he will end Biden’s Green New Deal priorities, Newsmax added.
“If Biden’s assault is not stopped, American auto-production will be totally dead,” Trump added. “That’s why I am going to terminate these Green New Deal atrocities on Day 1.
“In my first term, I fought for autoworkers like never before, canceling TPP [Trans-Pacific Partnership], which was a disaster, ending the NAFTA nightmare – the NAFTA trade deal was the worst deal ever negotiated on trade – and renegotiating Obama’s horrendous Korea trade deal. Made it a great deal from a horrible deal.”
The appeal may resonate strongly with the rust-belt voters, who are crucial for Trump to overcome the figurative blue wall in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. In 2016, Trump managed to secure narrow victories in Wisconsin and Michigan, but he subsequently lost these critical battleground states to Biden in the 2020 election.
Michigan is home to the U.S. auto industry, though it is not as dominant as it used to be.
“I saved the American auto industry once, and now, I will save it again,” Trump concluded. “Every voter in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina needs to know if you want to have an auto-industry, you need to defeat Joe Biden — he’s a corrupt president — and reelect President Donald Trump.”
