During his visit to a Detroit suburb, Trump criticized Biden on a range of issues from China to NAFTA to electric vehicles (EVs).
“A vote for Crooked Joe means the future of the auto industry will be ‘Made in China,’” Trump asserted.
He also broadly said that he would “unleash a thing called American energy,” adding, “We will drill, baby, drill.”
Biden’s campaign hit back, calling Trump’s speech “incoherent” and “low-energy.” Biden campaign spokesman Kevin Munoz also knocked Trump for visiting a non-union factory.
