Trump Blasts GM: Make Chevy Cruze in US, Not Mexico, or Pay 'Big Border Tax'

President-elect Donald Trump took to Twitter on Tuesday to pummel General Motors over its plans to distribute its Mexican-made Chevy Cruze model to American car dealers.

In a June press release, GM said it would boost production to meet customer demand by "utilizing existing production capacity in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico, to supplement production at its plant in Lordstown, Ohio."

Trump is not buying it. 

General Motors is sending Mexican made model of Chevy Cruze to U.S. car dealers-tax free across border. Make in U.S.A.or pay big border tax!

Trump's tweet is the latest targeting U.S. companies and threatening them with penalties for operating abroad. And it comes less than a week after Trump announced his two golden rules for his administration:

Buy American. Hire American.

• Trump Names Robert Lighthizer US Trade Rep
• Foreign Export Restraints Could Bring Jobs Back to Americans
