The Blue Oval told reporters that the supply of F-150 Raptor, Mustang, Bronco, as well as Lincoln Navigator were paused. “We adjusted the export from the USA to China, taking into account the current duties,” Ford confirmed. The case is the response tariffs of Xi Jinping: the leader of the PRC responded to Trump’s decree and raised duties, now the fees reach 150 percent!
Ford cars from factories in Michigan and Kentukki were supplied to China, and there are no alternatives to these production sites. Deliveries of engines and gearboxes from the United States continue. Last year, about 5.5 thousand Ford and Lincoln cars were exported to the Middle Kingdom. There is a reverse scenario: in the USA, the Nautilus crossover is supplied from China.
The head of Ford opened on which Chinese car it has been driving for six months for the Ford Boss appreciated the US backing up from China in the field of electric vehicles Ford.
The dealers were sent a service note from which it follows – if the duties are preserved, then the increase in prices for new cars is inevitably. However, while Ford is in no hurry to rewrite the price lists. It is also not said about stopping export from China to the United States. According to Reuters, the 25 percent duties of Trump will lead to an increase in the costs of automakers by $ 108 billion in 2025.
However, Donald Trump himself has no doubt that in the end it will be possible to agree. If the tariffs are still preserved, then American concerns of Ford and General Motors will suffer greatly, because both assembly conveyors and key suppliers of components are outside the United States, and the “most American” are unexpected models.
