Ford and GM Battle Over Who's the Most American Carmaker

Two big car companies, Ford and GM, are arguing with each other.

They both make cars in the United States.

Each company wants to be called the most American carmaker.

GM says Ford uses parts made in other countries.

GM also says Ford uses Chinese technology for its electric car batteries.

GM claims it gives more jobs to American workers when you count all employees.

Some of the smaller SUVs GM sells are made in South Korea and imported to the U.S. GM says those SUVs are very popular with buyers.

The two companies have different ideas about what makes a carmaker truly American.
