"UAW Strikes and Biden's EV Push: A Challenge for American Auto Industry"
Former Vice President Mike Pence has linked the ongoing United Auto Workers (UAW) strikes at Detroit carmakers' plants to the Biden administration's push toward electric vehicles (EVs), stating that the EV agenda is good for Beijing and bad for Detroit. Pence's stance aligns with that of his former boss, ex-President Donald Trump, who has also criticized the rise of EVs, claiming they will harm American auto workers. The UAW is demanding more equitable compensation, and additional strikes will be announced if negotiations do not make "serious progress" by midday Friday. The Biden administration has been promoting the transition to EVs as part of its climate agenda, intensifying the gas versus electric debate in the US.
