Would you say the same thing if the Trump International Hotel in Panama was seized by the government there?

Trump doesn't export hotel rooms to the USA and undercut US workers. So it is a different story. Those cars could have been made in the USA and exported to Venezuela. I don't care what happens to those globalist hacks at GM.

As I said in my original reply I don’t know the history of the plant in Venezuela so I can’t really comment on the specifics but I find illegal seizure of property appalling in all cases.

Just did some quick research:

The plant in Venezuela became operational in 1948 so it does not appear to have been part of the more recent globalism push.

In 1964 Venezuela banned the sale of fully built import cars.

Have been production shutdowns because of part shortages between 2014–present.
On the Oct 20 2016 GM announced an indefinite hold on Vehicle production at this plant.
