Ford Motor Co. is moving production of its Focus model to China after production at its Michigan plant ends in 2019. Trump thanked Ford on Twitter for its decision to scrap the Mexican plant.
The move, which Ford estimates will save it $500 million in production costs for the car, comes after Trump bragged that he would keep jobs in the United States by haranguing companies. Ford initially planned to move production of the Focus to Mexico, but it is now scrapping that plan in favor of production in China, according to a report in Bloomberg.
