Not news.

The Ford planning for shifts in production came long before Trump was mentioned as a candidate, and they probably had tens (or hundreds) of millions of dollars in it when it became an issue.

Ford’s transfer is really a challenge to fed regulations. Higher-profit and lower mpg vehicles will continue to be made in the US. More government squeezing by emission and mpg regulation would then come directly at the expense of American workers while ‘green’ incentives would go to imports. Ford is playing hardball with the bureaucracy.

Trump’s success with the bureaucracy remains to be seen.

For what it’s worth, Ford has also come out against the TPP.
