Ford is working closely with the Trump administration to streamline its car production and delivery processes, especially as the company faces challenges with the president’s tariffs. Ford CEO Jim Hackett recently pointed out that while tariffs offer the company a “better chance” at increased manufacturing flexibility, critical details regarding parts supply and production still need to be ironed out. This collaboration between the auto giant and the administration highlights the growing impact of trade policies on the automotive industry and the push to bring more vehicles to American consumers.
As the Trump administration unveiled its global tariffs, Ford released a new post-tariff campaign slogan: “From America, For America.” The automaker is promising consumers that they will only pay what Ford employees pay for a vehicle, detailing how the company will tailor its operations in the U.S. as President Donald Trump’s tariffs rollout. Earlier this week, the Trump administration announced that a 25 percent tariff would be imposed on all imported cars and imported auto parts.
While Ford already manufactures 80 percent of its US-sold vehicles in the U.S., the company said it is committed to its “From America, For America” program, which will assemble vehicles where they sell: in America. This testament echoes the Trump administration’s America-first agenda.
“When you buy a Ford vehicle, you’re not just getting a capable vehicle; you’re investing in American jobs and American communities. And we believe in American ingenuity and the enduring spirit of the American driver,” Rob Kaffl, Ford’s director of US sales and dealer relations, said.
