Trump disclosed his conversation with Barra in a Sunday evening tweet that followed earlier posts during the weekend that blasted GM for closing Lordstown and putting 17 hundred people out of work. Those tweets criticized GM for letting down the U.S. and urged the company to reopen the plant or find a new owner quickly. In his latest tweet, Trump said he reiterated to Barra that GM should do something quickly, including potentially selling the plant.
