"They better damn well open a new plant there very quickly," Trump told The Wall Street Journal in an interview. "I love Ohio. I told them, 'You're playing around with the wrong person'," he said, referring to his talks with the GM leadership. Earlier at the White House, the US President said he does not like the GM's decision. "We don't like it. I believe they'll be opening up something else. I was very tough (with GM leadership). I spoke with her when I heard they were closing.

And I said, 'You know, this country has done a lot for General Motors. You better get back in there soon. That's Ohio, and you better get back in there soon'," Trump said. "So, we have a lot of pressure on them. You have senators, you have a lot of other people -- a lot of pressure. They say the Chevy Cruze is not selling well. I say, 'Well, then get somebody -- get a car that is selling well and put it back in'. So I think you're going to see something else happen there, but I'm not happy about it," he said. Noting that their car is not selling well, Trump exuded confidence that soon they will put something else.
