Trump pointed a finger at Biden's push toward electric vehicles days before auto workers are set to strike against the three largest U.S. car manufacturers.

The former president posted the message to his Truth Social account just days before the UAW—which represents around 150,00 union workers—is scheduled to go on strike against the"big three" U.S. carmakers unless a deal is reached between the manufacturers and negotiators.

Trump also vied for an endorsement from truck drivers on Monday, adding in his post that electric trucking mandates"will quickly destroy the trucking industry." The Biden administration approved the state of California to set its own trucking in March, which included increasing the amount of electric trucks sold in the state over the next decade.to take steps toward electric vehicles after the White House announced in late August an additional $15.5 billion investment to support transition to electric vehicles.

"We are glad to see the Biden Administration doing its part to reject the false choice between a good job and a green job," Fain said in a written statement."The UAW looks forward to continue working with the Biden Administration to ensure a just transition for the auto workers in this country."
