WASHINGTON (Reuters) ̵
The latest Cruze rolled off the assembly line a week ago on Wednesday at GM's Lordstown, Ohio factory, the first of five North American factories to end production this year and finish the Cruze production in the United States.
Trump said, "Because the economy is so good, General Motors must get its Lordstown, Ohio, plant open, maybe in a different form or with a new owner, FAST!"
Trump added, "Toyota invests $ 13.5 billion in the United States, others also. G.M. MUST RAISE FAST. Time is of essence!"
Within five years, Toyota is planning to invest nearly $ 13 billion.
GM did not immediately respond to requests for comment late on Saturday.
