In a statement Friday morning, the president said the federal government will provide $17.4 billion in short-term financing. The automakers would get low-interest loans, allowing them to stay afloat into the new year. But the auto makers will need to restructure.
The president said in normal circumstances, he would not help companies that failed, but said these are not normal times and he must help the American worker and an American industry.
