From your link:
"... The tire case fell under a provision, called Section 421, that gives the President broad discretion on whether to impose quotas or tariffs when imports disrupt the U.S. market.

Ford wants to build a factory in Mexico. This is not dumping. This is not a disruption of U.S. markets. It has an impact on U.S. employment and that is the motive for Trump wanting the power to put a tariff on products imported from specific American companies.

He can do that. He just needs to get Congress to pass the applicable legislation.

Nice try. But not good enough.
