Trump Warns U.S. Auto Workers of Job Losses to China, Blasts UAW President Amid Ongoing Strikes

Trump warned U.S. auto workers' jobs will move to China and accused UAW leadership of failing workers.
Approximately 13,000 U.S. auto workers from GM, Ford, and Stellantis went on strike over issues like higher pay.
Trump specifically criticized UAW president Shawn Fain, saying he won't have a union in 3 years as jobs go to China.
Fain previously said a second Trump term would be a "disaster" but hasn't endorsed Biden.
Biden said he hopes for a "win-win agreement" in the negotiations and respects workers' right to strike.
