Trump effect
Ford has said it will cancel a $1.6bn (£1.3bn) plant it planned to build in Mexico and instead extend operations at its factory in Michigan. The US car giant will spend $700m on expanding the plant at Flat Rock. Ford said it needed to re-organise to use existing facilities more efficiently amid falling sales of its smaller cars. The President-elect has criticised both Ford and its rival General Motors over production of models in Mexico. Earlier, Donald Trump tweeted his disapproval of GM's production of the Chevy Cruze in Mexico. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-38497898 |

Ford's Chief Executive itself has said that Trump's impending presidency did play a part in that decision even if it wasn't the main reason: Quote:

Sounds like a businessman trying to save some face. Good decision for Michigan though, they've been in dire straits for quite some time.

It isn't, it refers to the same thing, nothing has changed.

I don't see why this is a problem, an American company keeping jobs in America. I remember reading about the "I'm Backing Britain" campaign in the 60s... what a pity people aren't backing it now.
