Ford Motors announced it would manufacture the new Focus in China, rather than Mexico as previously planned<\/b>
\nAmerican consumers will be buying Ford Motor\u2019s next-generation small car from a plant in China instead of Mexico, the company announced on Tuesday, to the New York Times. In 2019, after production ends at the current factory in Michigan, the second-largest car company in America will move Ford Focus manufacturing to China, the Times reported. Ford had originally planned to open a new $1.6 billion plant in Mexico, but, facing pressure from President Donald Trump, they canceled those plans and chose China instead. According to the Times, Ford will also be investing \u201c$900 million in a Kentucky plant to produce new versions of its Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator sport-utility vehicles, \u201d which the company said will save 1,000 jobs at the plant. It\u2019s a bit peculiar that President Trump would push Ford out of Mexico and into China, especially after campaigning on a promise of preventing factory jobs from leaving the United States \u2014 though admittedly, Trump is not known for consistency. \u201cI beat the people from China. I win against China. You can win against China if you\u2019 re smart. But our people don\u2019 t have a clue. We give state dinners to the heads of China. I said why are you doing state dinners for them? They\u2019 re ripping us left and right. Just take them to McDonald\u2019s and go back to the negotiating table, \u201d Trump in July 2015.<\/p>\n
