President Donald Trump said Sunday that three U.S. automakers – General Motors, Ford Motor and Tesla — have been “given the go ahead” for fast-paced production of ventilators and other metal products needed to treat Americans infected by the deadly coronavirus.

“Go for it auto execs, let’s see how good you are,” Trump said on Twitter.

The Republican Trump is under attack from some opposition Democrats for not invoking 1950s Korean War-era powers to force American companies to manufacture medical equipment to fight the coronavirus infections, but he so far has resisted a direct order while praising voluntary efforts by U.S. corporate giants.

In another tweet, Trump thanked Frederick Smith, chief executive of the FedEx package delivery service, “for the rapid emergency deliveries you are making all over our Nation. Keep it going!”

Federal Emergency Management Agency administrator Peter Gaynor told CNN on Sunday that Trump hasn’t invoked the Defense Production Act to force companies to manufacture masks, ventilators and other crucial medical supplies because they are being made voluntarily.

“It’s happening without using that lever,” Gaynor said.
