The company announced a $900 million investment there Wednesday, and plans to add 900 jobs in the state.Last year, Ford pledged $11 billion to transform its business and produce more electric and self-driving cars. The Michigan plans are part of that overhaul, said Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of global operations.

It will add a second shift to that Mexican plant. Production will be consistent with the USMCA trade agreement, the deal worked out by the Trump administration that is supposed to replace NAFTA.

Really ? I Thought We Were All Gonna Die From Obama’s “ New Norm for America “ ? Thank You realDonaldTrump for Making America Great Again ! MAGA
It’s good news but really late considering Tesla has impressed the rest of the world so much that other national brands have support and investment to rapidly innovate and close the gap by offering cheaper/better alternatives to our top evs which exist globally as luxury items.
Mr. President. Thanks for making America great again. FakeNews CNN sucks!!!
Which I'm sure will explode sales-wise. There must be millions waiting to buy a $70k car that that is powered by coal & gas burning power plants. The self driving aspect is the icing, if, of course, there was any infrastructure to support it.
