"It was like he was in a different place when he visited Detroit on Monday. He talked only of failure, poverty and crime. He is missing so much of what makes Michigan great," Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, said in Warren, Mich.

Clinton spoke from Futuramic Tool & Engineering, a company that suffered during the economic recession in 2008.

"He said, and I quote, 'We're becoming a third-world country.' Look around you, my friends. Go visit with the workers building rockets. That doesn't happen in third-world countries," Clinton said.

"Americans' best days are still ahead of us if we make up our minds to actually go out and make that happen."

Clinton criticized Trump for talking about what's wrong with the country without offering any solutions.

"He hasn't offered any credible solutions for the real economic challenges we face," Clinton said.

At his own economic speech, Trump presented himself as a stark contrast to Clinton in terms of the economy and unveiled plans to simplify the tax system and rethink America's energy policy and trade deals.

He said Clinton would continue policies that destroyed cities like Detroit.
