Their manufacturing is slowing down. Did they forget they are doing away with all sedans including their most popular vehicle the Fusion? Except the Mustang? Even my not even 3 year old sedan half the technology is crap on it now because they did away with a couple of main features we purchased the car for.
Sadly Ford is doing this to themselves. Speaking of...I have to take my car to the dealership to have one of those tech feathers taken care of.
I'm not sure what you're saying.
Our 3 y/o MKZ came with tech features we did not want at the time. Now I'm glad we have them.
BSM, adaptive cruise and lane assist. At the time GM didn't yet have the tech due to the their bankruptcy and the resultant delay with innovation.

What she's saying is that it's Ford's fault that they lost a billion dollars due to Trump's tariffs.
Trump continues to play hardball business tactics with all of the U.S. as his "business". It would be one thing to risk his Trump empire with bold moves and shrewd business relations. It's another thing to deem every American an employee of sorts, thus risking everything and anything we have with such an approach that transcends government actions. Trump has greyed the area between business and politics more than any other POTUS before him.

Its easy to play hardball and take down businesses when you have the strong arm of the government behind you.

And when you make the rules and exempt your own industries from any of the tariffs. Trump has literally nothing to lose as he sticks it to millions of Americans.
Last month, Ford CEO Jim Hackett said President Trump’s metals tariffs have cost the company $1 billion in profit. According to Fortune, the second biggest American automaker officially announced “massive” layoffs.
The impact of these tariffs on the U.S. auto industry and inconsistencies in the process are too glaring to ignore. "The metals tariffs took about $1 billion in profit from us—and the irony is we source most of that in the U.S. today anyways," Hackett explained.
