Trump seeks to force General Motors to produce ventilators
President Donald Trump issued an order Friday that seeks to force General Motors to produce ventilators for coronavirus patients under the Defense Production Act.
Trump said negotiations with General Motors had been productive, "but our fight against the virus is too urgent to allow the give-and-take of the contracting process to continue to run its normal course."
Trump said "GM was wasting time" and that his actions will help ensure the quick production of ventilators that will save American lives.
