Every single country that has an auto industry is stepping forward to help that auto industry. Why wouldn't we help this industry too, because it needs 3.5 million jobs.

People who think it doesn't matter who owns our auto industry are flat wrong.
The auto industry is standing today. The middle class is standing today. Ohio is standing today. America is standing strong today.
