President Trump warning that he is considering eliminating all federal subsidies for General Motors.
The threat, on Twitter, followed GM's plans to close plants in three states and stop building its hybrid electric Volt model.
At the White House, economic adviser Larry Kudlow said the president feels betrayed.
Larry Kudlow:
There's disappointment that it seems like GM would rather build its electric cars in China, rather than in the United States.
We are going to be looking at certain subsidies regarding electric cars and others and whether they should apply or not.
I can't say anything final about that, but we're looking into it.
Judy Woodruff:
GM defended itself in a statement, saying that it acted to ensure long-term success.
The company also said that it will give affected workers a chance to move to jobs at other plants.

Foreign affairs correspondent Nick Schifrin reports.
Nick Schifrin:
In Russian-annexed Crimea, masked soldiers paraded Ukrainian sailors in, and then quickly out, of a Russian-controlled court.
And those same Ukrainian sailors were paraded on Russian TV, seemingly confessing to entering Russian territorial waters illegally, a "crime" for which they will be detained [구금하다] for two months.
It's only been two days since their boats were fired on by Russian ships as they sailed south away from the Crimean Peninsula's Kerch Strait, which both countries are legally allowed to use under a 2003 agreement.
For four-and-a-half years,
Ukraine and Russia
have been fighting.
A Moscow-backed insurgency [반란]
in Eastern Ukraine
has killed
at least 10,000 people
and kept Ukraine's government off-balance.
But this is
the first attack
Russia hasn't denied.
Now Ukraine's firing back
with intercepted Russian communications
it says prove
the crisis was manufactured
by Russian leaders.
A Russian captain
says to another Russian captain
— quote —
"We should assault them.
We have to destroy them.
Medvedev is
in panic.
It seems that
the president is controlling
all that."
Medvedev
likely refers
to Gennady Medvedev,
head of the Russian intelligence service's
border service office
in Crimea.
But, today,
Moscow
stood firm
in blaming Ukraine.
It warned
that Kiev's decision yesterday
to impose martial law
would lead to a surge
in fighting in the pro-Russian rebel-held areas
of Eastern Ukraine.
And Russia
accused
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko
of playing politics
ahead of a March 2019 election.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev:
Dmitry Medvedev (through translator):
This martial law
allows for the authorities
to flex their muscles
a little bit
and boost their support
amongst the population.
Nick Schifrin:
But much of the world today
supported
Ukraine.
Poland's president
called for retaliatory sanctions [retaliatory 보복적인]
against Moscow.
Andrzej Duda (through translator):
There is no doubt
that Russia is an aggressor
and it is not the first time
there is a violation of the agreements
between Russia and Ukraine
regarding navigation.
Nick Schifrin:
European countries
are now considering
helping the Ukrainian navy,
an effort State Department spokesperson
Heather Nauert
encouraged.
Heather Nauert:
One of the things
that we would like
to see take place
is our European allies
doing more to assist Ukraine.
Nick Schifrin:
But the U.S.
has to help lead
that response.
And, tonight,
President Trump
threatened to cancel
his planned meeting
later this week
with Russian President Vladimir Putin,
saying — quote —
"I don't like
that aggression at all."
For the "PBS NewsHour," I'm Nick Schifrin.

unprecedented weather.
We
