Ford cancels Mexico plant, expands U.S. factory and adds 700 jobs

Ford Motor announced Tuesday that it would cancel plans for a $1.6 billion Mexico plant and launch a Michigan expansion in a move that may be viewed as a capitulation to Donald Trump.

Ford CEO Mark Fields said the company would spend $700 million and add 700 jobs to "transform and expand" its Flat Rock, Mich. manufacturing plant to make autonomous and electric vehicles.

"Make no mistake about it — Ford is a global automaker but our home is right here in the United States," Fields said at a press conference.

I made the mistake of voting for John Boy McCain and Pitty Rumney. When will I learn? I've always been a GM nut and am so sorry I purchased a new GM truck. Wish I had listened to a dozen friends that all have Ford trucks.

Maybe if we had the money back we gave GM we could build that wall. I think it cost taxpayers about 11 billion. Let's make them pay that back before they sell one more vehicle here. We bailed them out and now they are closing more plants here to open in other countries.

Don't be so hard on yourself 1:56. I did too. I'd vote for a FREAKING LOWLIFE bum on the corner before the MUSLIM KING. But how did we know then how much they both were just like democrats. Corrupt ESTABLISHMENT.
