...make matters worse, the company's international partner, DaimlerChrysler, has refused to provide it with new financial support. In April, DaimlerChrysler Chairman Jurgen Schrempp asked banks linked to Mitsubishi to forgive some of its $9 billion in debt as a precondition for the German-U.S. auto giant's participation in any bailout. But he was turned down. Soon after, Rolf Eckrodt, the DaimlerChrysler-appointed president of Mitsubishi Motors, resigned.
