President Donald Trump threatened to cut federal subsidies for General Motors (GM) in retaliation to the automaker’s decision to shut down factories and lay off thousands of workers.

In a pair of tweets on Tuesday, Trump reiterated his disappointment with GM and its CEO Mary Barra and stated that his administration is considering “cutting all GM subsidies.”

Very disappointed with General Motors and their CEO, Mary Barra, for closing plants in Ohio, Michigan and Maryland. Nothing being closed in Mexico & China. The U.S. saved General Motors, and this is the THANKS we get! We are now looking at cutting all @GM subsidies, including....

....for electric cars. General Motors made a big China bet years ago when they built plants there (and in Mexico) - don’t think that bet is going to pay off. I am here to protect America’s Workers!

On Monday, GM announced that it will close its assembly plants in Detroit, Ohio, and Canada. It will also shut down its propulsion plants in Maryland and Michigan. The closures will be happen in 2019.

In addition, the automaker plans to reduce its workforce by 15 percent or more than 14,000 white-collar and factory workers.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal on Monday, Trump said he spoke with Barra on Sunday and warned that the company is “playing around with the wrong person.”

The president also demanded that the automaker should stop manufacturing cars in China and “better damn well open a new plant” in Ohio “very quickly.” Trump said “I love Ohio.”

Separately, Trump told White House reporters that he is “not happy” with GM’s decision. He added, “I have no doubt that in a not too distant future they’ll put something else. They better put something else in.”

GM’s response to Trump’s threats

In response to the president’s escalating threats, GM tweeted, “We are committed to maintaining a strong manufacturing presence in the U.S. Many of the U.S. workers impacted by our actions will have the opportunity to support new growing areas.”

“That includes adding technical and engineering jobs that support the future mobility. We’re on a journey to create a better world today, and for generations to come.”
