Trump's tweet amplifies the public pressure on GM to restart operations at the Lordstown, Ohio facility.

President Donald Trump targeted both General Motors and an Ohio union official on Sunday over an assembly plant that the automaker closed earlier this month.

On Sunday, Trump tweeted that United Auto Workers Local 1112 President David Green"ought to get his act together and produce." The union represents workers at the Lordstown plant. The facility's closure is resulting in the loss of 1,300 jobs, though about 417 of those positions will go to other plants, GM previously said.

On Saturday, the president tweeted that GM"must" reopen the plant,"maybe in a different form or with a new owner, FAST!"Neither Green nor GM immediately responded to CNBC's requests to comment on Trump's tweet. While Trump has previously criticized GM, Sunday appeared to be the first time that he targeted Green, a local union official, by name.
