Ford Motor Co (F.N), criticized by Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump for manufacturing outside the United States, announced on Tuesday that it would invest $1.6 billion to build more small cars in Mexico, starting in 2018.
The automaker made the announcement as Trump, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Ohio Governor John Kasich competed in a primary in Wisconsin seen as crucial in the race to become the Republican presidential candidate in the November election.

Dumb move. Trump has been warning Ford since last summer. Ford thumbed its nose to Trump. Trump gets mad AND even. Expect to see Trump whack Ford for the next few weeks. Methinks Ford will have poor sales for 2Q.
Trump is the only one talking about loss of jobs and how we are being ripped off where as the Dems talk about free this and that, Kasich talks about passion and giving, and cruz talks about Trump.
I’m trying to figure out why I would reward Ford by buying their Mexican made vehicles when Ford has zero allegiance to me and the American people. That’s no bueno.
I guess Ford can buld cars anywhere they want, but selling them back into the US is another matter. That we can make expensive for them.
First of all, this factory is not replacing as US factory. It's a new build. Second, Ford has markets all over the world. Some of those markets won't accept small cars from the US. But they will accept them from Mexico. Should Ford just give that business to Toyota or Nissan?
We don’t have to allow them to be imported.
just say no!
Not like the Democrats or OBama stopped this.
Do a little research on Detroit and then get back to us suggesting that Ford add manufacturing outside the US.
Maybe Trump should stop putting up buildings abroad and be forced to build them all in Detroit.
Let’s force everyone opening a business next year to open it in Detroit.
