Former President Donald Trump next week will be swapping debate time with his presidential rivals for time with autoworkers on strike in Detroit, where the strike is now in its fifth day.

The showdown between the United Auto Workers and the Big Three in Detroit is playing out in a battleground state in the 2024 election.

UAW President Shawn Fair said he doesn’t want the strike mixed up in presidential politics and he doesn’t want Mr. Trump around. The UAW members walked out at General Motors, Ford and Italian-American conglomerate Stellantis, which owns Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and European brands such as Fiat and Peugeot.

“Donald Trump is going to Michigan next week to lie to Michigan workers and pretend he didn’t spend his entire failed presidency selling them out at every turn,” Moussa said. “Instead of standing with workers, Trump cut taxes for the super-wealthy while auto companies shuttered their doors and shipped American jobs overseas.”
