JUST IN: Ford cancels $1.6 billion Mexican plant after Trump criticism


Ford Motor Co (F.N) said Tuesday it will cancel a planned $1.6 billion factory in Mexico and will invest $700 million at a Michigan factory, after it had come under harsh criticism from President-elect Donald Trump for its Mexican investment plans.

The second largest U.S. automaker said it would build new electric, hybrid and autonomous vehicles at the Michigan plant.

Ford Chief Executive Mark Fields on Tuesday said the decision to cancel the new plant in Mexico was in part related to the need to "fully utilize capacity at existing facilities" amid declining sales of small and medium sized cars such as the Focus and Fusion.

    NO it had to do with Ford having to pay 30 to 35% more in import fees if they left America...

    This is why Trump was elected . If Hilda beast had won, Ford would have donated 10 million to the Clinton Foundation AND BEEN GRANT WAIVERS ON IMPORT TAXES.

    Trump can't be bought or sold by the corporations or special interests. No favors, no kickbacks! Finally a president who stands for the people and not corporate or special interests! He's not in office yet, and already things are starting to look better! I will still boycott them, GM (Government Motors) and Chrysler for the bailouts and then taking american jobs to Foreign countries. At least Honda and Toyota, as well as BMW make there cars in plants in NC an SC. Quality is also better!
